Is it okay to get rhinoplasty after 9 days of hair transplant? I just had FUE hair transplant on 08/18/18.

This is a very interesting question. After hair transplant (by any technique) it is incredibly common (the rule not the exception) for the transplanted hairs to "fall out" at about 2-3 weeks post op as these follicular units undergo Telogen (resting state of the hair follicle). Assuming the original surgery was done correctly, almost all of the transplanted hairs will re-grow in a couple of months when the hair follicle transitions back into anagen (actively growing state)! Anesthesia/emotional stress/pain are throught to promote Telogen Effluvium, a synchronized early entry of hair follicles into the Telogen stage, which can cause rapid and diffuse hair shedding. This is generally self limited (ie after the inciting event the hair will grow back). Sometimes there is substantial edema of the forehead and the periocular area after hair transplantation (due to the local anesthesia tumescent), and if this is still present at the time of your planned Rhinoplasty, I would recommend waiting, as the edema may distort the relation of the root of the nose with the forehead and even the external nasal anatomy and effect your outcome. If the edema from the hair transplant has subsided, then it is probably fine to proceed. So in short-- your newly transplanted hair will likely fall out a couple weeks after the transplant but will regrow in a few months, which is expected and normal. Adding additional stressors (anesthesia, surgery, pain, etc.) can cause additional hair loss, but both of these situations are self limited. You want your anatomy to be as close to baseline as possible for your rhinoplasty so that you obtain an optimal outcome, if your edema has subsided, then it is probably fine to proceed. You should speak with you surgeon about your concerns.

There is noi direct correlation between rhinoplasty surgery and the hair transplantation sites. There are anatomically neighbors but operating on the nose would not adversely affect the early healing hair transplants.
