I'm used to taking really hot showers every morning. Is it safe to go back to this routine 10 days after a hair transplant? My surgeon said "no gym" for a month after my transplant, due to the sweating. He said the sweating is bad for the transplanted hair. But he also said I could go back to my usual shower routine after 10 days. Still, I always tend to "after sweat" a lot after my hot morning showers. Is this sweating just as bad for my transplanted hair as the sweating during working out?

Answer: It is best to ask your surgeon about post operative care as each doctor has their unique regimen.
It can take 6 to 12 months after surgery to see results. If you are concerned it is best to contact your doctor. Considering a second surgery right after your first surgery means you probably didn't plan things out properly.
Alopecia areata can affect any area including the hair line and hair transplant surgery is not usually indicated. At this point, you should follow up with your doctor.
