I am looking for a doctor to perform hair transplant surgery for my thinning hairline and crown area. I was diagnosed with CCCA and traction alopecia several years ago. The area has was treated with extensive medication and cortisone injections to decrease inflammation & redness. A mass majority of the area has not been active from sometime. Unfortunately, because I wear wigs my hair line has suffered. I'm looking to receive surgery for my hairline & possible reduction in the crown.

More than likely the answer is no to these corticosteroids. These corticosteroids are in very small amounts and are distributed locally to the area of application. High doses of corticosteroids taken orally could potentially have an impact on a new transplant.
İt is normal for 65 days after hair transplant . All of hair that new transplanted has been shedded and they will regrow after 3-4 mo .There is no need to worry about...
After 8 weeks you are fine. If you are reading this BEFORE your hair transplant - the answer is different! Avoid Aspirin at least a week before the surgery to reduce bleeding during the procedure.Good luck!
