Will drinking 1 week after FUE affect the results of the transplant?

Question

Will drinking 1 week after FUE affect the results of the transplant? Is the only risk to drinking after a hair transplant from medication interaction?

We recommend our patients avoid alcohol for at least one week after the procedure. This can help the healing process and make sure the skin is as hydrated as possible. Having a few drinks 1 week after the procedure will not ruin your results. Just do not make it a habit.

Hi Mattgvt11,Before the operation and during post-operation, you cannot drink alcohol at all. Anyway, you can be patient to drink alcohol.
