lifestyle effects on regrowth

[Guest Landen]

How does lifestyle factors such as stress, tobacco use, and alcohol effect regrowth of transplanted hair in terms of time and yield. After my transplant, i did not drink alcohol or chew snuff for about a month and a half. Since then, I drink beer only occasionally(roughly 4 to 6 beers per week)and I chew only once or twice per day when I am doing work outside, sometimes less frequently. After the first 4 to 6 weeks after a transplant, how much does our lifestyle factors(diet, stress, tobacco, alcohol use, level of anxiousness) effect the outcome of a hair transplant? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I asked doctor Rose this question and he said smoking (tobacco use)only matters pre surgery in the matter of bleeding before surgery.
