This is very unusual for hair transplant and was seen more commonly with older techniques. Do you scar poorly everywhere? I would need to see you in person to develop a plan to improve this area.
Dear sanchez91Thanks for the question. Typically, it's best to avoid consuming alcoholic beverages for at least 48 hours after surgery. Even if you do consume alcohol, be sure to go easy. I wish you all the best.
