Hi all,
I had a small FUE session done (about 250 grafts, as my surgeon has advised to do this in smaller steps) 8 days prior with PRP.
Tonight, I went out to an event with a few friends. I had about 5 alcoholic drinks, and smoked about 3 cigarettes.
Then, while under the influence, I made a very bad decision and did some cocaine. I did two lines of it.
Up to this point in my healing, I've followed my doctor's instructions and have healed very well. I have ate very healthy, drank lots of water*and have gotten lots of sleep/rest (9-10 hours a day).
I know I made a mistake, and I am beating myself up for it. I will not be using recreational drugs or smoking any longer, and will put off my alcohol consumption for another week or two.
Have I seriously damaged my grafts and risked my hair transplant failing? I asked a friend who is a doctor in another field, and he thinks that things should be OK at 8 days post-op. But could I get some advice from the community?
Moving forward, I am being even more careful about post-op care, and trying to be as healthy as I can.*
I hope I haven't hurt my grafts beyond the point of return. Thank you.
