  1. I smoked for first 3 weeks of hair transplant and smoked for 2 years before that. I have now not smoked for over 4 months and my hair is coming in nicely and I had transplant just under 5 months ago. It's ofcourse my unprofessional opinion but I don't think their is conclusive evidence that smoking ruins a hair transplant. It's just best to not smoke cause it could only hurt your transplant not help it. Check my recent forum posts for pics. Good luck quitting by the way.

     

    I think that's a great description! Smoking may affect healing after any type of surgery by by constricting blood vessels and hindering blood flow. But, it's not certain to do this in every case. You may experience no ill effects whatsoever.

     

    In the end, following your physicians advice regarding smoking before and after surgery is advisable. It's always your best bet to obtaining the best possible results.

  2. It was probably neve tried on men over that age that's why

     

    This is my understanding. The clinical trials were done on men of a certain age range and this is what they can support based on data. There is certainly no harm in using the drug beyond this age limit and it may be just as effective.
