Answer: Hair transplant, 3 weeks post op. 2500 FUT grafts shedding and scarring, advice? Aspirin use will predispose you to bleeding during and after the surgery and ideally should be stopped a week prior to surgery if possible. If you are taking the aspirin under a doctor's care for something like stroke or heart attack prevention, or if you have a stent in place, you should check with the prescribing doctor if it is safe to hold it. If not, discuss this with your hair transplant surgeon in advance. If you take it for pain, you can use something like Tylenol (acetaminophen). Things like Motrin (ibuprofen) can also cause bleeding and are best avoided prior to surgery.If you can't/don't stop aspirin, be sure to notify your surgeon prior to the day of surgery.

Answer: Being on Aspirin If you have a reason like a heart valve or some other similar condition that requires Aspirin, I would do the surgery with you on the drug. But if you just take it prophalactically, the follow the instructions. Speak with your doctor
