Can walking in sun after 11 days damage implanted grafts?

May 20, 2019
Asked By:Xabier in Hondarribia

Hello!! Today I walked in the sun and it was 18 degrees, after 11 days post hair transplant, from 15:10 or 15:30 to 16:30, so during one hour or one hour and twenty minutes. I have long hair too, because the grafts are implanted inside in three areas with less density. So my question is, does that walk in the sun damage the implanted grafts?

Answer: It is best to contact your surgeon for post surgery issues and care since all doctors have slightly different instructions.
