FUE and contact sports?

January 1, 2016
Asked By:gimmemyhairback in Usadel, DE

It's been about 6 weeks since I've had my FUE hair transplant done. My doctor told me after 1 month I can resume kickboxing, wrestling, and MMA. I understand that after 10 days your grafts are in place and there's almost no way you can ruin them. Now I compete in these sports so I will be taking shots to the head from professionals, am I okay to go ahead and start training now that I'm 6 weeks post op?

Answer: Follow your doctors advice and use common sense. Taking "shots to your head" after surgery does not seem wise.
