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.

I think you have that much (2000 or more) graft on your head .You will satisfy with result but may need a second session for more density
Go back to your doctor and ask your doctor for advice. He should be the one dealing with your problem as he has a vested interest to make you happy and successful with your surgery
No need to worry, shedding of the transplanted hair can be noticed as early as the first week and can continue on to the sixth week.
You had surgery already. It's too late to ask if it was the right thing to do. Photos cannot tell you if the surgery went well either. It will take 6 to 12 months to see the results.
We see patients who come to us for a revision hair transplant on a regular basis in our Los Angeles and Beverly Hills Offices. Some has gone to other places to save money, some done it by inexperienced doctors and a few done by good cosmetic surgeons who only do hair transplant on the side ...
Hair transplant to the scar generally do not work as you may expect. Your doctor who performed your surgery (who knows you, has examined you, and performed surgery on you) can answer your questions better.
