I have to go to Russia 6 days after hair transplant surgery. Temperature is -12. Will this affect the results at all?

Question

Jae Pak, MD · Answer

Cold weather should not be a factor after a hair transplant surgery.  If you are concerned contact your doctor or invest in warm clothing and hat.

Sean Behnam, MD · Answer

It shouldn't be an issue, just be careful about wearing a tight woolen hats- make sure if you wear them, put them on and take them off carefully. The weather itself shouldn't affect your grafts.

Jonathan Ballon, MD (in memoriam) · Answer

No, not to worry. And after 6 days, you can even wear a tight fitting, warm hat without any concern for the transplanted hairs.Have a safe trip and try to stay warm!Dr. Ballon

William Rassman, MD (retired) · Answer

We have many people travel within a day of the hair transplant and they come from Europe and Asia when the temperatures are below freezing in the winter. No problem
