When can I play cricket after FUE hair transplant?

Dear gasim2006Thanks for the question. After 2 month your scalp is totally healed and yes you can play cricket and also do other sport activities. I wish you all the best.

There should be no issue but it is best to check with your doctor who performed your surgery in case there are issue specific to your surgery.

Anytime someone has a hair transplant, or any surgery for that matter, they should always refer to their own doctor for questions regarding their post-operative activities. Your doctor knows your case best!In general, after undergoing an FUE hair transplant surgery, patients can return to a normal active lifestyle within a matter of days. This is one of the benefits of follicular unit extraction surgery in that the wounds from the extractions are so small that they are healed and nearly invisible within a week. This is also about the amount of time it takes for the transplanted hairs to be fully anchored in the recipient scalp. Full contact sports should wait about two weeks but activities such as cricket, baseball, basketball, tennis etc are usually fine after seven to ten days. Don't take my advice alone. Remember, check with YOUR doctor to make sure you don't breach his or her own specific post-operative instructions for you. Good luck and have fun!

One of the benefits of FUE is the lack of a requirement for stitches. For this reason most doctors would suggest exercise is fine from 10-14 days after surgery. I do tend to ask patients to avoid excessive sweating or saunas for the first 3 weeks. 

I tell my patients to wait about two weeks. By then the grafts are very well healed and impossible to pull out or damage, even with a direct hit. My restriction for my patients as far as sports really isn't based on trauma, but sweat. Sweat is probably the biggest enemy of a transplant early on as the incision sites are still a bit porous and the sweat may act as a "culture medium" for bacteria growth. But by two weeks everything should be healed and dry. If not, there is something up and you need to see your doctor ASAP. Dr. FellerGreat Neck, NY

One of the advantages of FUE is quick donor site healing so you don't have to worry about traumatising a healing linear incision.However you do have to be very careful in protecting the transplanted grafts. Hair transplant surgeons will vary in their post op instructions regarding sports after a hair transplant but the majority would agree that, after FUE, two weeks would be fine. You should check with your own doctor's preferences.

You can play cricket within 10 days of having an FUE transplant or even you can run a marathon in 4 days. Exercise all you want. That is the advantage of FUE over a strip surgery

you have be completely healed to return to contact sport such as cricket. Even though FUE donor area may heal fast but your recipient area where the grafts are placed needs to be healed completely as well. At our clinic we suggest four weeks for contact sports but you need to check with you hair restoration doctor.
