Holding back a sneeze 3 months after hair transplant ? Will it dislodge grafts, or affect final results?

Question

I’m 3 months post FUE, yesterday i was around people close to me and I fought and held back a big sneeze, I felt pressure in my scalp , Will this have any effect on my grafts, or my final result? Thank you, doctors in advance.

It is best to contact your surgeon for post surgery issues and care since all doctors have slightly different instructions.There is nothing wrong with sneezing.

Emrah Cinik, MD · Answer

Do not worry. Sneezing will not cause and damage on the transplanted hair. You do not have to hold your sneeze.

You do not have to worry about it at this stage. And on top, holding a sneeze is not good for health :)

Matt Tahsini, MD · Answer

Good question. You have absolutely nothing to worry about, sneezing will not cause any negative effects.

Sneezing will not impact your hair transplant within the first day let alone 3 months.  Now you can do anything you wish
