Smoking after a hair transplant?

Smoking after a hair transplant?

To achieve excellent hair transplant results, it depends both on how well the hair transplant procedure is performed and how well you take care of your hair and scalp after the operation. Smoking is harmful to health, and the smoke can also affect your hair transplant. Our specialists prohibit smoking after hair transplantation. Even after a perfectly performed operation, patients need to pay utmost attention to follow aftercare instructions. Your surgeon and medical team will provide you with information on how to care for your hair and scalp after your operation. Following this information will definitely increase your chances of achieving great results.

One of the important things you should do before and after your hair transplant operation is to stop smoking; you will be asked to quit for at least the first 2 weeks. Every surgeon agrees on this rule when it comes to the success of hair transplant surgery. If you are considering a hair transplant, you should be ready to quit smoking or at least limit it for a while. Smoking affects hair transplant results because the chemicals in cigarettes block blood circulation. Many people ask this question in the hope of hearing the opposite. However, various studies and surgeons’ experiences show that smoking has a negative impact on the success of hair transplant procedures.

Can I smoke before and after a hair transplant?

Smoking is not recommended before and after hair transplantation. It is recommended to quit smoking at least one week before. However, the sooner you quit smoking before hair transplantation, the better. Poor blood circulation prevents the circulation of anesthetic in the patient’s body. This can also increase the chance of complications during hair transplant surgery. Decrease in blood oxygen levels Decrease in blood oxygen levels Nicotine lowers blood oxygen levels, which is undesirable during any operation. Given the negative effects of smoking on the success of hair transplant operations, it is recommended to stay away from smoking for as long as possible.

  Мы с мужем хотим только порекомендовать доктора Зейнаб и ее команду.
Все прошло на высоком профессиональном уровне от начала и до конца.Доктор Зейнаб была очень внимательна к нам и консультировала  во время всего пребывания.Нас встретили в аэропорту по прибытию, отвезли в отель и на протяжении всего пребывания в Турции нас отвозили и привозили в клинику в договоренное время. Также,все это время,нас сопровождала переводчица Ирина,которая всегда была на связи с нами и отвечала на все  вопросы, как организационные ,так и вопросы,которые у нас возникали к врачам в процессе.
Хочу добавить еще по поводу стоматологических услуг.Лучше  перед приездом сделать рентген Зубов и отправить стоматологу, чтобы  он мог оценить в какую сумму вам обойдется лечение зубов.
У нас осталось хорошое впечатление от посещения Клиники доктора Зейнаб.Может только рекомендавать????????????.
