Oral sex and sexual intercourse 2 days after FUE hair transplant did it hurt the newly implanted grafts?

Question

I had a FUE hair transplant 4 days ago and received oral sex on day 2 and 3 after my surgery and had intercourse on day 4 after the transplant. My girlfriend did all the work every time and it wasn't rough, we were very careful. Do you think I hurt any of the newly implanted grafts? I saw afterwards that I wasn't supposed to do any strenuous activity for 10 days. do you think I hurt any of the new implants?

Hello, please see below. We advise to avoid sexual activity for first week after hair transplantation.  The rationale is to avoid increasing blood pressure.  There are no studies supporting this however.

Oral sex or sexual intercourse should not affect your surgery.  If you are concerned it is best to contact your doctor.

Joshua Cooper, MD, FACS · Answer

We ask our hair transplant patients to take it easy for a few days after their procedure in order to prevent bleeding.By raising your blood pressure soon after an operation with strenuous activiy, there is a slightly higher risk of causing bleeding.  Fresh bleeding after a hair transplant could possible hurt some of the grafts.If you didn't notice any bleeding or change in your hair transplant, chances are you'll be just fine!Thanks for sharing.

What you describe should be okay. Generally, we ask for patients to take it easy for 1 week, but it sounds like your activities were light to moderate, not strenuous. If nothing seems to have changed with your grafts, there shouldn't be anything to worry about. If you're really concerned you can ask your doctor to possibly check.

You don't tamper with the grafts you should be fine but no one would fault you for relaxing during recovery.
