Can I get a CT scan scan 15 days after a hair transplant?

Question

I went to Turkey and received 3550 FUE hair transplant. 14 days from the surgery, I came down with flu like symptoms and was admitted to the hospital. Today, the doctor ordered a CT scan of my head. Will this harm the grafts in any way?

It is best to contact your surgeon for post surgery issues and care since all doctors have slightly different instructions.

Two weeks after hair transplant surgery a CT scan should not have any adverse effects on your grafts

Yes, you can have a CT scan after an FUE. At 15 days, your FUE should be fully healed and there should be no problems having it done
