Can I have a hair transplant during my recovery from a facelift?

Question

Idk what type of face lift I am going to have yet but I was wondering if I can have hair transplant almost same time or during recovery of facelift. If so how soon after facelift can I have hair transplant? The area I concern are front and top of my head

Ajaya Kashyap, MD · Answer

Thank you for your query. Hair transplant can be done during a Facelift procedure or a few days later, but not immediately after, because of the dressings, the positioning and also because the post operative pain medications can thin the blood. I would recommend getting the hair transplant procedure a week or two after your facelift , unless your surgeon is comfortable with combining the two procedures. Please find an experienced Board certified Plastic surgeon who can examine you and help you with all your concerns. All the best!

Hello and thank you for your question.  I would suggest waiting at least a few weeks after a facelift before getting a hair transplant. Really you should be asking your doctor, someone who knows your medical situation, in order to get the correct response.  Best of luck to you.
