Can stress affect the results of a hair transplant?

christof1979
Dear doctor, i am having my hair transpant in a week and today I found out that there will be some changes around my workplace (some people might have to get fired or change city of work) so I am getting quite nervous if stress can perhaps make hair transpant fail or for the hairs tranplanted to get 'destroyed' by stress and anxiety somehow... Thanx in advance
