thomas alterman,How high a blood pressure? While hypertension is not good for your health over a period of time it can damage end organs such as heart, kidneys, the vascular system, and the brain. A hair transplant will grow on patients with hypertension.

As long as the grafts are placed correctly and well cared for post surgically (especially in the first 5 days), having elevated blood pressures will not cause undo harm to the grafts.
