I smoked after hair transplant and I'm worried that I might have lost a lot of grafts. Is recovery possible?

Asked By:theerat226 in United Kingdom, GB

I had a hair transplant about 7 weeks ago and I have been constantly smoking around 1 cigarette a day and I also had taken alcohol twice. I'm worried that my grafts won't grow as much as expected. Is there anyway to get the dead cells back to life again?
