Will donating plasma a month after FUE hair transplant affect my growth?

Question

Hi, I would like to know if donating plasma a month after a hair transplant will affect my results. I want to donate once for the money but I’m nervous about it affecting the transplant. Will it, or am I ok to donate? Thank you.

It is best to follow up with your doctor for post surgery questions and concerns. Donating plasma should not be an issue in general.

David Deutsch, MD · Answer

There should be no contraindication to donating blood or blood components after HT. However,if you are on Finasteride than that precludes you from donating blood (in case that blood ends up being donated to a woman of child bearing age)

Matt Tahsini, MD · Answer

Hi, interesting question with a very simple answer.  You have absolutely nothing to worry about if you wish to donate blood one month after your transplant. Your transplant will not be affected in any way by you donating blood.

I see no reason why donating blood would affect your hair transplant results. I would say that you are fine to proceed.

donating blood or plasma is fine after a hair transplant as you should be healed with no problems present to prevent a good donation
