Surgery after Hair Transplant

[HairEnthusiast101]

How long after would it be safe to get another surgery like liposuction or other forms of plastic surgery after HT?

Good question.  I personally would want 6 months, which I fee like is a good time point where most of the grafts have sprouted.  I hate the idea of putting my body through heavy stress with unborn hairs still lingering haha!

 

 But the real answer is probably much sooner than that.

I don't know if there's a general rule for this, so it's something I would suggest running by both your hair transplant surgeon and the surgeon of the future procedure to get their input. There could be various specific circumstances at play here that they would both consider. There's no literature to my knowledge to support that you would have to wait an extended period of time, though I can't imagine you'd need to wait more than three months. However, as mentioned above, for your own peace of mind, it might be beneficial to wait until a significant amount of your results have appeared. Surgery can be stressful enough as it is, so if you can wait until you're mostly on the other side of the HT before diving into another one, I think that'd be best. That's what I would do anyway.

No thank you for response I was thinking about 6-8 months due to stress or going under anesthesia. I can easily wait a year too I just didn’t know if it was safe a year after. How long before HT could I do something like that?

Best to ask your doctor.
