Regular Member Ne001 Posted April 14, 2014 Regular Member Share Posted April 14, 2014 Hi All, I am coming up to 10 weeks post op. Was just wondering if anyone had any advice or thoughts regarding swimming in a swimming pool at this stage (10 weeks). Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member 1978matt Posted April 14, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted April 14, 2014 Totally fine at that stage assuming there have been no complications (poor donor healing etc). 4,312 FUT grafts (7,676 hairs) with Ray Konior, MD - August 2013 1,145 FUE grafts (3,152 hairs) with Ray Konior, MD - August 2018 763 FUE grafts (2,094 hairs) with Ray Konior, MD - January 2020 Proscar 1.25mg every 3rd day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Rootz Posted April 14, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted April 14, 2014 The one issue I can think of is if it's an outdoor swimming pool and you still have redness, the sun exposure will prolong the redness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Ne001 Posted April 15, 2014 Author Regular Member Share Posted April 15, 2014 thanks for the replies guys. i have also checked with my doc and he said the same about it being good to go but thought i would get some advice from here too. my donor has healed well, no complications... also, i will be swimming in an indoor pool so sunlight wont be an issue... i've also had minimal redness in the donor area area and recipient areas anyway, Indian decent so fairly dark skinned so its not noticeable. i was more concerned about whether swimming in a pool would have any impact on the recipient area in terms of growth etc... but seems i'm good to go. thanks again!
