come back some other day... No, you're probably fine. A little rain never hurt a hair transplant as far as I know. Sleet on the other hand...
Unless it was a very torrential downpour you experienced, you should be fine. The grafts are usually pretty well sealed into place by 24 hours after the procedure.
Hi, I don't think you have anything to worry about, a little rain isn't going to harm your transplant results.
So long as you didn't do anything more aggressive than gently blot the water this shouldn't be a problem.
Many hair transplant surgeons recommend a spray to be used on the transplanted hair post operatively so getting the grafted area a bit wet with rain water will not be a problem.There is no evidence to confirm what is the best spray to use with some doctors recommending just saline and others recommending copper containing solutions or ATP (adenosinetriphosphate) amongst others.
The recipient area is sealed by the day after the surgery and I generally recommend washing this area with shampoo and water so rain water will not harm you
It is unlikely that you will dislodge grafts at two weeks by a gentle scrub. Just be sure to use the tips of your fingers (not fingernails), and avoid anything sharp contacting the grafts.
Exposing your head to sun after the operation is not healthy for the transplanted hair. Use your supplements and make sure you wear a hat next time.
Thanks for your question. Intermittent fasting has become a very popular weight maintenance strategy. Many of my plastic surgery patients adhere to this eating regimine. It has no impact on healing as long as you are ingesting adequate calories and nutrients when you do eat.
