Sex after FUE

Unless the recipient area was rubbed or pulled, sex is probably fine after a few days past the transplant surgery. Keep in mind that many doctors recommend waiting a few days for moderate physical activity, but two weeks for strenuous physical activity, though.

Sex in the immediate post transplant period

Grafts are not permanent until 10 days following your hair transplant procedure. At 100 hours, they can be dislodged if the scalp is rubbed too vigorously. When grafts are dislodged, the area usually bleeds, so if you did not experience bleeding, you are most likely fine.

it is alright to have sex after hair transplant as long as the hair in the recipient area is not touched and the follicles are not pulled out.
