Hi,
I am seriously contemplating an FUE procedure very soon, but am quite nervous.
I need between 4000 - 5000 grafts estimated. This will be done over two days, one after another.
I expect the procedure will finish by 7pm latest on Day 2. I have the option of booking an 23:00pm international flight the same night, or can wait another 24 hours and fly out then.
Questions:
1) Regarding flights, has anyone travelled on a plane just 3 or so hours after a large FUE procedure? Is it recommended not to?
2) When is the first time I can stop being super careful - e.g. not lowering/bowing head or placing in risky angles?
3) For anyone that flew in an airplane quickly after procedure, how did you hide your head? Since no caps allowed i believe on surgery day and for a while afterwards (how long?), exposing such work on the head would be difficult to manage and create unwanted attention at the airport.
4) When can I have my first shower with the water from the shower on my head?
5) When can I start playing sports and more intense activities - running, swimming etc
6) How long do i need to be worried about the head exposure to the sun? Since caps are not allowed, what are the options?
