29 year old male. I am 14 days post FUE. Is it OK to play football/soccer tomorrow? (Photo)

Dear UK29Thanks for the question. After 2 month your scalp is totally healed and yes you can play soccer and also do other sport activities. I wish you all the best.

Ask your doctor if you have post operative questions. In general you should wait until you have healed before engaging in contact sports.

2 weeks after your hair surgery your transplanted hair follicles are safe and you may start sport activities.On the other hand I advice my patients to avoid extreme sports and contact sports 4 weeks minimum.

Sounds like you are healing well. And there should be no problem playing sports, HOWEVER, should that ball hit your head or you wack your head with that of another player you may be looking at a problem. That said, I wouldn't play a contact sport for at least another 2 weeks. And even then VERY carefully. A hematoma (bump) from trauma can kill grafts. Dr. Feller

I recommend to avoid all physical efforts in the first week after surgery: avoid leaning forward, avoid blowing your nose too strongly. The best is to limit your physical activities at least during one week after surgery (for example, no sexual activity for seven days). You should avoid going to the swimming pool for the next two weeks. To answer your question, I would say 14 days are quite short… Football can sometimes be physical. It would be better to wait two more weeks because contacts and shocks are not ideal for the grafted hair.

At 2 weeks after an FUE transplant with no crusts on the scalp, I would imagine that it would be safe to play run around; however, repeated trauma to the head may produce bleeding as the wounds may not be completely healed. You might still wait another week.
