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: Safety First With regards to when it would be safe to have a hair transplant after rhinoplasty. Typically, I would wait at least two months to allow for full recovery from anesthesia. But in and of itself, there's no contraindication to having it three weeks after as long as anesthesia is OK with it. You should expect some facial swelling from the Hair Transplant. This could affect recovery from the rhinoplasty just due to the extra swelling.

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.
