Having a Fue HT in 4 days. I smoke mariuhana. Will doctors notice THC for PRP cell theraphy? Does THC in blood effect anything?

Question

Jae Pak, MD · Answer

THC or Marijuna use is not recommended for any procedure.  If you are concerned it is best to contact your doctor.

eb1977,Smoking MJ will not altered the PRP treatment or be detected because your doctor will not be testing for it. However, I think that you should inform him that you did. MJ will increase your bleeding, making your surgery more difficult because it will be harder to see. It will be specially hard if the receptive area has a lot of native hair. Good luck to the two of you.Sincerely,Bernardino A. Arocha, MD

Congratulations on your upcoming procedure.    What we have noted anecdotally is that patients whom consume regular thc/marijuana typically have a slightly delayed onset of initial growth by a month or so, but results catch up with non-smokers by the 6th month post procedure.  THC has no impact on your PRP therapy.  THC resides in the serum, the therapeutic component of PRP resides in the plasma component of blood (platelet rich Plasma.)We have noted patients whom smoke tobacco products do have decreased yield and less healing capacity.

If you took these things, you need to speak with your doctor about these activities. It is probably ok but don't do this immediately after the surgery
