Can a hair transplant be safely done 2 months after gynecomastia surgery?

ajietJul 22, 2018
Had scheduled a hair transplant 3 months in advance. Meanwhile I still had some free time at hands which tempted me to address another problem of minor gynecomastia that I had. Got the gyno operated in June & now my HT is scheduled in August, i.e. both the procedures 2 months apart. My HT will require donor chest hairs. Now, my chest on one side has become normal but another side is bit swelled. My question is, is it safe to proceed with HT at 2 months from gynecomastia surgery? Thanks.
