Hello, I am undergoing a 1,600 graft FUE procedure six days from today. The pre-op instructions advise me to avoid exercise the entire week prior to the procedure. Why should I avoid exercise BEFORE the procedure? I understand that AFTER the procedure, the grafts are delicate and that exercise can increase scalp pressure and pop out the grafts. However, why should I avoid exercise in the days BEFORE the procedure? Thanks!

Answer: It is best to contact your doctor about pre operative care and instructions since each doctor has a different regimen.
It is best to contact your doctor about post operative care and instructions since each doctor has a different regimen. Rubbing at this point should not be an issue.
The best option is to always be honest with your doctor. In this case they would have most likely told you that it was nothing to be concerned about and highly unlikely that they would cancel your surgery and keep your deposit because of you being honest with them.
