Hi, so on 8.2.2018 i had hair transplant in FUE method, and im abit confused. 1. Doctor said i cannot sweat for 1 month, but told me after 1 week i can have sex - im confused because i do sweat in sex, so should i wait or not? 2. Exposing the transplanted hair to direct sun for few seconds cannot do any harm? Thank in advance, im pretty nervous, its my first time (:

It is best to ask your surgeon about post operative care as each doctor has their unique regimen.  There is no restriction to having sex after surgery unless your doctor advised against it.

Emrah Cinik, MD · Answer

After the hair transplant operation it is very important that you do the right aftercare. The patients need to stay away from sexual intercourse least for a week.  Do not expose your head directly to the sun. Wear an appropriate hat.

Ilhan Serdaroglu, MD · Answer

you may have sex after 1 days of surgery unless your partner hit or rub your transplant area during having sex... , those are all wrong  advices .. sweating does not effect you implanted hair grfats .Exposing the transplanted hair to direct sun for few seconds do not make any harm , do not worry.

William Rassman, MD (retired) · Answer

At one week you can have all of the sex you want to have. With regard to the sun, you should protect the recipient grafts from the sun for at least 3-4 months or un til the hair grows out to produce the shade you need
