Why is exercise bad after FUE?

daniel233
From what I understand, one of the issues with a successful hair transplant is connected with blood circulation to the area, particularly the crown. With this in mind, I am curious why my doctor told me to avoid exercise for the first two weeks after the procedure? Wouldn't that increase blood flow and wouldn't that be good?
