Why is exercise bad after FUE?

After hair transplant we ask patients to avoid exercise for 7-10 days because once you exercise, the blood supplies goes to your muscles. We want to enough blood supply to remain in the scalp, so these grafts can survive. 

It is best to ask your surgeon about post operative care as each doctor has their unique regimen.  Most doctors don't want you to harm the graft due to exercise. It is more about using common sense.  Some doctors may tell you light exercise is ok.

The reason why we limit heavy exercise immediately after a Hair Transplant is to reduce the possibility of dislodging grafts by excessive sweating or elevated blood pressure.
