Are these purple dark areas after my FUE hair transplant normal? (Photo)

dr_bebsAug 31, 2017
my doctor said that those areas due to smoking ( i'm not a a heavy smoker 1 or 2 cigarettes per day and i stopped smoking totally 1 day before operation and till now ; 3 days after operation) and he gave me aspirin 100 mg for 3 days to improve the blood circulation and advised me to stop smoking) .. those photos directly after the operation , 1 day and 3 days after the operation. is this something i have to worry about? thank you in advance.

Losing one or two grafts after a 2000 graft surgery is reasonable statistically.  If you are still concerned it is best to contact your doctor.Raw honey is not a normal treatment after a hair transplant.

You can start using concealers few days after surgery. If you are concerned about its use, it is best to ask your surgeon.

There is no way to tell you why your doctor recommend one surgery or the other.  We can all guess but it would be difficult without having examined you or understanding the exact circumstances. It would be best to ask the doctor what the reason was.
