Sun exposure is not recommended after surgery but if it already happened there isn't much you can do.  It may cause discoloring of the skin.

It is normal to lose transplanted hairs weeks after surgery.  It will slide out very easily. It may take 6 to 12 months to see new hairs grow out.

Apply a  moisturising foam to the transplanted area and after 20-30 minutes you can wash it with a gentle massaging .This will help to soften the crust.

After two months you can do anything you want with your hair including dying your hair.  If you are concerned it is best to contact your doctor.

It can take 6 to 12 months after surgery to see results.  If you are concerned it is best to contact your doctor.  It probably has nothing to do with wearing hats.

Mesotherapy generally would not work for a genetic condition such as male pattern balding.  Many people may try it and may doctors may recommend it but there is no proof it works.
