Are Blood Tests Required Before Hair Transplant Surgery?Posted by doctorwong on January 11th, 2010

What specific blood tests do H&W ask for prior to surgery, also can I get my bloods drawn in Vancouver iteself a few days before the surgery?—S.R.

As long as you are healthy with no current medical concerns or known conditions, we don’t require blood tests prior to surgery. You will need to inform us of any pre-existing blood-borne disease such as HIV, hepatitis B or C.
