Hello Doctors i've smoked a Joint of weed on the twelfth day after my Hair Transplant (FUE), i did not smoked anything until that day. My question is if that will ruin my results? I'm not a heavy smoker, and i only took a few drags. Thanks!

All types of hair transplant surgery carries a risk of shock hair loss.  It may affect the hairs you gained from Rogaine.  The risk may be small but it is always a risk.

Not all surgery is the same and not all medical clinics produce the same results.  Not all patients have shock hair loss.

FUE is a very technically challenging surgery.  It takes experience and sometimes special setup for long hair FUE.  Every case is different so you may want to meet with the doctor to ask these questions.Remember Long Hair FUE is only a harvesting technique.It has nothing to do with the end results.

If the grafts look like it is falling out of your scalp, then it would be an issue.  Contact your doctor with your concerns.
