Help - Smoked 2 cigarettes after small FUE transplant
Hey everyone,
First post on this site. Would really appreciate some feedback.
Short Background
I myself had a very small (450 grafts) FUE hairline transplant completed 2 days ago for early recession at the temples. I am 21, and generally pretty healthy other than the fact that due to a very stressful year I have picked up a moderate and regular smoking habit of about 5 to 8 cigs a day for the past year. I refrained from smoking a week before the procedure, and the procedure went well. HOWEVER, due to some really bad news I received, I messed up and had 2 cigarettes the day after the procedure. My surgeon said that considering that I had a very small operation with only 450 grafts, there shouldn't be too much competition for blood supply, however she obviously cannot advise me on what sort of damage has been done. I am freaking out and would like a question answered if you guys would be so kind. I WILL NOT smoke anymore for the next month at least, and I am taking all other precautions to protect my grafts (frequent cleansing, no exercise for 2 weeks, supplementing zinc, anti-oxidants, biotin and so forth)
My Question -
I have probably jeopardised my healing and recovery time. BUT, my main concern is whether these two cigarettes will have impacted the survival of my grafts. In other words, setting aside the slower healing and longer recovery time, can I still obtain the same end result?
Thanks in advance for any feedback!
