How long do you have to wait to work out after a hair transplant?

doesitmatter123
I did my fair share of research online , about gym after hair transplant General consensus is that , either 21 days or a whole month resting is necessary before starting lifting weights. However my doctor keeps insisting on 2 months ,thats a huge amount of time for me. Considering i'd be losing so much muscle mass Should i go for 1 month? What do doctors think?
