Regular Member Jimbo34 Posted May 8, 2014 Regular Member Share Posted May 8, 2014 Hi all I am looking to get FUE HT done in July/August - approx 3000 grafts by Dr Lorenzo. The thing is I am a competitive runner and would like to schedule the HT without impacting too much on my training schedule and races throughout August and September. What is the recommended/safe time post op before beginning training again? Does it matter how intense the training is? Does it matter about the distance run? I usually run 6-10 miles per day and a little concerned about the amount of sweat being produced and impacting on the grafts. Thks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually run 6-10 miles per day and a little concerned about the amount of sweat being produced and impacting on the grafts. Thks I would take it easy and do next to nothing for 2 weeks so the grafts can really bed in. I'd perhaps even make that 3 weeks although that may be excessive. I don't think intensity matters, in fact a bit of blood circulation rarely did anyone any harm! As long as you're not killing yourself at a heart rate of 190+! It's going to be sunny so you will need to cover your head with a hat. The sweat should not be a problem assuming you shower straight after. Carry water and pour on your head if you think you're overheating! 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 hsrp10 Posted May 9, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted May 9, 2014 some good advice from Matt. the FUE instructions I have seen mention you can restart heavy exercise after two weeks. Also shoot Dr. Lorenzo an e-mail and see what he says. I wouldn't do anything intense until at least after day 14 post-op go dense or go home Unbiased advice and opinions based on 25 plus years of researching and actual experience with hair loss, hair restoration via both FUT & FUE, SMP, scalp issues including scalp eczema & seborrheic dermatitis and many others HSRP10's favorite FUT surgeons: *Dr. Konior, *Dr Hasson, Dr. Rahal HSRP10's favorite FUE surgeons: *Dr. Konior, *Dr. Bisanga, Dr. Erdogan, Dr. Couto (*indicates actual experience with doctor) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
