Regular Member Superhawk Posted June 5, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted June 5, 2010 Hey guys, I had a FUE procedure with DR. Ron Shapiro appx 7 weeks ago. Most of the hair has shed and I still have some redness in the recipient area. My question is about trauma to the recipient area post-op. I sleep in very precarious positions and the other morning noticed that I had a compression mark going right over my recipient area from sleeping face down against a seem on my sheets. Does anyone know if this could damage the follicle or am I just being paranoid? Also, I was told I could excersise at 100% after 10 days. Has there been any research that shows anything different as far as graft survival rates with intense excersise? Thanks in advance, I can't wait to hear your responses.

Regular Member Davis Posted June 23, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted June 23, 2010 Post up for my 3 procedures I refrained from touching the area (short of lightly washing my hair) for 2 weeks just to be safe. At 7 weeks you are more than fine... With regard to exercising. again for the first 2 weeks I would not do anything, and even then, get back into it slowly... Good luck First transplant with karamikian 6/05, less than 1000 to my hairline, result was mediocre at best. 2nd HT with Feller 2/08, 3000+ to my front third.
