First of all, thanks to all doctors for their replies on my 2 previous questions. Here is a last one, promise :) I am traveling to Africa with work in 10 days, and had to take a big range of vaccines yesterday (23rd day post-op FUE). I got Yellow Fever, Difteri-Tetanus, Hep A, Meningitis, Cholera, Typhus and malaria pills. This morning (24th day post op) I woke up with fever (37.5C) and shivers. Will this impact my grafts in any way? I havent seen anything about it online. Many thanks again!

During a hair transplantation, if with FUT or FUE does not make any sense,all the grafts will be counted one by one and they will be separated in one-two-three etc follicules and it will be stated in a medical report. You should contact your surgeon/clinic and ask for the report.

It can take 6 to 12 months after surgery to see results.  If you are concerned it is best to contact your doctor.  It is too early to judge at this point.
