Can eye strain and headache from using the computer affect the results of a FUE hair transplant?

September 3, 2017
Asked By:mattot in San Francisco, CA

I'm a healthy non-smoker 26 yo. I had FUE procedure done 2 months ago. 9 days after, I felt discomfort in my eyes and a bit of headache from using the computer for a couple hours. In 2 or 3 occasions during the 1st month I left the computer to bed with a more intense headache and eye strain. After the sleep rest it would go away. I've read these headaches and eye strain do decrease the blood flow in eyes and head. Can it affect the results? Can these headaches be compared to smoking a cigarette?

Jae Pak, MD says:

If you have a history of gynecomastia you need to discuss your decision to take Propecia with your surgeon.  You need to understand all the side effects (one of which is gynecomastia) and weigh it against the benefits.
