Senior Member UKLad81 Posted November 22, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted November 22, 2023 I’m a vaper and am due for surgery in a couple of weeks. Is it true that vaping could impact both the surgery and the overall result? Interested to know how others have managed this during HT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member jjalay Posted November 23, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted November 23, 2023 The nicotine levels in your blood with vaping is are preety low. Also the oxygen in your blood and blood circulation are normal. I think you are safe to vape after surgery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Myles23 Posted November 24, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted November 24, 2023 hello @UKLad81. I stopped vaping a couple of months ago as I’m booked in for a HT in February next year. Always suffered from poor circulation in my feet but since stopping I’ve noticed a difference. Good circulation after a hair transplant can only be a good thing to give yourself the best chance of a result you’re happy with. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member gillenator Posted November 25, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted November 25, 2023 IMHO, vaping is not as detrimental as full blown smoking however the ideal is no vaping at all. 1 Gillenator Independent Patient Advocate I am not a physician and not employed by any doctor/clinic.

MarcAdkins Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 (edited) Hey @UKLad81, it's a valid concern you have there. Vaping could indeed have an impact on surgery and the overall outcome, especially if it involves hair transplantation. Nicotine can affect blood circulation and potentially slow down the healing process. Considering alternatives like the Crystal Pro Max might be a good idea if you're looking to minimize nicotine intake before surgery. Ultimately, it's crucial to consult with your healthcare provider and discuss your vaping habits and any necessary precautions before your surgery. They can provide personalized guidance to ensure the best possible outcome. Edited January 14 by MarcAdkins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member gillenator Posted January 14 Senior Member Share Posted January 14 The thing with vaping is the amount of concentrated nicotine that is added to the oil can affect how restricted the oxygen can be to the blood.
