Many persons have habit of having coffee in the morning but if one is undergoing hair transplant it is always good to avoid coffee before the procedure. Coffee contains caffeine which raises the blood pressure and also causes palpitation (increased heart rate), these both factors in combination can lead to increase chances of bleeding during the procedure. This makes the procedure difficult as graft insertion and dislodgement of the placed grafts both poses a challenge. The whole process and the result can compromise because of coffee intake. It is always advisable to avoid all the caffeinated drinks before the procedure be it coffee, tea or cola drinks.
