General Anesthesia after hair transplant - how long should I wait before having another surgery involving general anesthesia?

Asked By:thomas's in Los Angeles, CA

I am a female looking to fill in my hairline recessions with hair transplants. If I have the hair transplant procedure, how long should I wait before having another non related surgery involving general anesthesia? I have been told general anesthesia can cause temporary hair loss, could this affect newly transplanted hair?
