Can I have a FUE hair transplant whilst on dialysis? Can I have one after a kidney transplant? Or is it a bad idea?

Some patients may have redness after surgery.  It is best to contact your doctor for treatment options (not the Internet).  There may be many answers or opinions on the Internet but your doctor (who performed surgery on you and knows your medical history) can give you the best advice.

It is best to ask your surgeon about post operative care as each doctor has their unique regimen.   There are no medications to speed up healing.

Everybody is different.  Some people can probably harvest 10,000 grafts and others only 5,000.  Your doctor can give you the best estimate since your doctor is the one that examined you (and knows you best).

Hairs harvested or taken from your donor areas will never grow back.  It was harvested and relocated to the area where you wanted more hair.

If your doctor advised you to wash more thoroughly and you follow the advice, that is the best you can do.  If there are any issues, let your doctor know.  It is normal to have shed the transplanted hairs weeks after surgery.

If you are paranoid about damaging your grafts, it is best to contact your doctor for an exam.  If you follow your doctors instructions you should have no issues.
