Hi everyone, Is there any risk by having a Hair Transplant procedure 3 weeks after the rhinoplasty surgery? The hair transplant would be only to recover my hairline But the HT doctor says that I have to stay for about 3 hours with my face down for the graft extraction. Would this normally be a issue? Thanks in advance for your answers.

Answer: Harvesting position You should check with your surgeon who performed the Rhinoplasty regarding being face down. Your nose will be though a hole so you should not put pressure on the nose. Personally, I harvest with the patient seated because this is the only way to see the angle of hair growth perfectly. In other words, the head is never face down in my procedure. BTW, I am the one who developed the FUE technique. Face down harvesting is not a good way to perform the surgery.

Answer: Hair transplant after Rhinoplasty Thank you for your question. Having a hair transplant procedure has no negative effect on your rhinoplasty recovery. Your nose might still be swollen 3 weeks after the surgery but this will not cause any problems for your hair transplant. Best of luck to you.
