Use of Rogaine before surgery


Recommended Posts

Is it necessary to discontinue the use of 5% Minoxodil before HT surgery? If so, how long should you not use it? I have heard differing answers on this. I use minox on my crown only, and am scheduled for surgery to have fu's put into my hairline. Thanks.

My doc instructs patients to discontinue use of Rogaine 7 days before surgery because it can contribute to excessive bleeding, which can compromise the healing of the grafts.
