My doctor has advised me to go to the gym after one month. Can I do minor exercises such as push ups, sit ups and pull ups before that? Maybe not all in one go, but lets say 40-50 push ups in the morning?
Answer: Sure I personally see nothing wrong with that if you're use to doing push ups and you feel well enough to do them.But you really need to check with your doctor because all doctors will have slightly different opinions and post-op instructions.

Answer: Excercise after HT For the first 2 weeks you can only do light excercisies like walking, sit ups and push ups may not really be appropriate for now. Resume heavy excercises after a month. Avoid practices that may be too risky or might affect your results.

Answer: Exercising after a hair transplant Every doctor may have a slightly different regimen, but I would recommend following the advice of the doctor who performed your surgery. It doesn't make sense to risk a complication just to get back to the gym a little bit earlier. If you really can't wait, call the doctor who did the procedure and ask him/her whether you can start working out a little sooner. Good luck.

Answer: Exercise after hair transplants Be sure to check with your surgeon for his or her specific recommendations. The main issues with regard to exercise is preventing sudden changes in blood pressure that could affect the grafts. For patients who had follicular unit extraction procedures (FUE), I advise return to light cardiovascular activity at day 8 and light weights at day 11. Heavy weights at day 14.For patients who had strip surgery (FUSS), I advise return to light cardiovascular activity at day 12 and light weights at day 15. Heavy weights at day 21. The main issue with FUSS type procedures is proper healing of the donor site.Push ups sit ups and pull ups are best avoided for 11 days -14 days for FUE and 2-3 weeks for FUT (Strip surgery).Please check with your surgeon.
