I had hair transplant few days back. Am I allowed too smoke n drink now or will that affect my hair growth ? How can I prevent that .. Please help
Answer: Hair Transplant Dear nirmalgwThanks for the question. Smoking reduces the blood circulation and this can effect the hair grow of the new hair. We know that stopping smoking is not easy for the patients and this is why we recommend to consume not more than 5 cigarettes per day if the patient can not stop. I wish you all the best.

Answer: Do Not Smoke after Hair Transplant #seattlehairtransplant The nicotine in cigarettes definitely decreases the blood flow needed for proper healing.Do not smoke as this could affect how well you heal. Additionally, it could cause you to lose transplanted hairs.Drinking an alcoholic beverage or two at this point should be just fine.

Answer: Drinking and Smoking Post Hair Transplant Simply put NO - not unless you want to risk the potential outcome of your Hair Transplant, as smoking can slow wound healing and increase your risk of infection. We advise all patients to stop smoking and drinking for at least 2 weeks prior to surgery and the same post surgery. It is essential to get the best possible outcome. When you get to 14 days post surgery then its fine to have an alcoholic drink and potentially if you still feel the need, to have a cigarette.
