Cardio workout post-op

[Chief]

Going back for 2nd proceedure. I have read several post about excersize, but none have adressed this issue. I plan on taking a week or two off post-op. Does anyone know if sweating from excersize can damage the new grafts?

Take a look at my thread. There is a nice post by Dr. Shapiro about how to gauge whether cardio may have an impact on scar stretching.

This has been discussed many times before. Sweating should be kept to a minimum, and if it occurs, it should be washed off. Your scalp should be kept clean.

[Dr. Glenn Charles]

It would probably be wise to avoid cardio-workouts for at least 7-10 days. No matter how good of shape a person is in, when they engage in a cardio workout their blood pressure will roller coaster ( go up and down ) which may delay the revascularization process. Excessive sweating in the first few day could dislodge a grafts. The other thing about sweating is that it often can bring dirt and unwanted bacteria into the transplanted area. Make sure you keep that area very clean.
