Have I damaged the grafts by masturbating after hair transplantation?

K
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?

You can wear a hat or a scarf a week after your surgery but it is always a good idea to check with your doctor.

The donor area scarring from your strip surgery may show up as bumps and redness. If you are considering FUE surgery you must realize that you will have to shave that area exposing the exiting linear scar.

For women who will never keep their hairs buzz cut short (like men) FUE may NOT be the best option.  FUE involves shaving your scalp for the surgery.  FUT does not require a hair cut or a shave.

Sleeping with a hair concealer should not have any issues with hair loss or hair transplant surgery.  If you are concerned it is a good idea to check with your doctor.

Hi 500c,There should not be any issues with coloring the hair after a hair transplantation. I would certainly wait for at least two weeks before doing it.Good luck!
