Sickness one week after hair transplantation, will this impact my final result?

Question

Hello, one week ago i had my FUE hairtransplantation. Now i became sick (norovirus infection). Can this Influence the hairtransplantation result?

Jae Pak, MD · Answer

Viral infection should not affect your surgical results in general.  If you are concerned it is best to contact your doctor.

David Deutsch, MD · Answer

Assuming that you are otherwise healthy this viral illness should not effect the growth of your grafts.

Parsa Mohebi, MD, FISHRS · Answer

After the 4th day your grafts have
settled into their new location and baring an infection to the scalp it is
doubtful that your Norovirus (which usually affects the gastrointestinal system),
will disrupt your hair transplant.

Sean Behnam, MD - Account Suspended · Answer

If it's been a week you should be fine. At this point it would take significant physical stress to harm your grafts, so illnesses in general are not a risk to your transplant, except a scalp infection or something in that vein.

William Rassman, MD (retired) · Answer

Having the norovirus should not impact the results of the hair transplant. Keep well hydrated and hope you feel better soon.
