HairNightmare Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I just had my second HT to add density to the previous HT i had about 14 months ago. I am 3 weeks post op second HT at the moment and will like to ask some questions: If i ever end up with shock loss, is it going to affect my transplanted hair from the previous surgery? Will rogaine be able to stop shock loss and when can i start using rogaine? When can i start working out? Nothing crazy for now, i am aware that weightlifting can stretch my scar so i am looking at running and probably push-ups/pull-ups Any advice on what i can do to make my scar less noticeable and smaller? Any advice or input will be appreciated. Thanks guys!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Spanker Posted October 30, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted October 30, 2014 1. Probably not 2. It will help 3. Some doctors say 2 weeks for light work outs but I prefer a month. 4. My advice would be to not work out to much. I prefer a neck brace for the first few days if you are tight. Know your limits.

Senior Member Garageland Posted October 30, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted October 30, 2014 You will be fine to start rogaine at 3 weeks post op, but check your own Doctors post op instructions as advice varies greatly from poster to poster. Agree with Spanker shock loss should not affect previously transplanted hair but no guarantee. As for working out you will be fine to do cardio like running cycling etc I would hold back on the push ups and sit ups as that could pull at the back of your scalp. After a second FUT surgery things will be a bit tighter than previously. The last question are you talking in terms of concealing it or just trying to avoid it from stretching? To do all you can to avoid it stretching then avoid heavy lifting for at least 3-4 months if you are overdoing things you will feel it. --- Former patient and representative for Hasson & Wong.
