Have I damaged the grafts by masturbating after hair transplantation?

kevin.c123Apr 7, 2016
Hello. I Had a hairtransplantation and i masturbated 7 hours later(5-7min). After i cleaned the area with water. The following 3 days i masturbated also 2 times per day and I cleaned the area after it. I know it was very stupid. I was not bleeding or something like that. Could there be a chance that the grafts are not damaged?

When my patients are used to take Finasteride, I recommend them to keep on taking Finasteride before, during and after surgery.

As long as the scarf is not tightly wrapped or causing any pulling you should be completely fine.

Strip scars have complications called scars, some of them get elevated and even read and bumpy. These are called hypertrophic scars and need the attention of a doctor familiar in treating them with steroid injections if they are truly hypertrophic
