Hair transplant while recovering from surgery?

Have you had patients get a hair transplant while recovering from surgery? I’m having surgery on my shoulder soon and was thinking about taking advantage of the time off work to get a transplant? Not sure if this would be too much for my body.

Obviously I know my doc will have the final say. However just wanted to ask here prior to asking him, as my next appointment isn’t for a few weeks and he’s a while away

Many of my patients who have had orthopedic surgeries will do a hair transplant during the recovery period because they have the time to do it then.
