How long after a hair transplant megasession FUT/FUE should I wait to swim in the pool?

First is the issue of swimming in a chlorinated pool .In my practice I do not recommend my patients swimming in a pool for one month , until the scabs have healed completely . Chlorine can kill grafts even if your pool has low PPM of chlorine, therefore you are  adviced to take a shawer after swimming in a pool. Having them wait a couple extra weeks to insure that the grafts are completely seeded and will not be damaged by outside factors is worth the wait.All the Best

You should clear any post operative activities with your doctor . In general you should wait 2 to 3 weeks but some doctors may have completely different opinions or instructions.

We generally advise our patients to wait at least a month before swimming in a pool, because the chlorine is pretty harsh on grafts, especially if they're still weak. Some doctors say only 2 weeks, it really just depends on who you ask, and you should probably just ask your own doctor since they know the specifics of your procedure and you paid them to help you!

Thank you for posting your question. Every clinic has their own post-procedure instructions as how soon patients can go swimming. Either in the pool, or the ocean. We typically advise patients to hold off if they can atleast 3 months. If it's any sooner, they can wear a swimmers cap, and or rinse their head right after they get out of the pool/ocean with clean water. Hope this helps.

I usually recommend my patients to wait at least two weeks before going to the swimming pool again, no matter the PPM of chlorine.

After any FUE, you should not put your head under water for at least 3 weeks and make sure that all of the crusts have been off your head for at least 1 week. Remainining crusting is a problem
