Senior Member Spanker Posted February 7, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted February 7, 2011 Is there any proof that there is a correlation between smoking cigarettes and lower yield results??? Thanks.

Senior Member Thehairupthere Posted February 7, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted February 7, 2011 I'm not sure if there have been any studies done for hair transplants and smoking, but cigarettes are known for constricting blood vessels, increases blood pressure, and increased carbon monoxide presence in your blood. All this together adds up to increased chances of damaging grafts when they are transplanted so it is safe to say smoking can cause a real risk in the survival rate of grafts, not even mentioning other serious health risks. I am a consultant for Dr. True and Dr. Dorin. These opinions are my own.

Senior Member Tonycc Posted February 11, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted February 11, 2011 I think it mostly causes problems with wound healing and infection due to constricting blood vessel. A lot of websites say it can affect hair growth, but I haven't come across any studies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
