Sun Exposure 7 weeks following a HT


Recommended Posts

I'm approximately 7 weeks post-op. I attended a funeral today and I wore I casual looking hat but at times I had to remove my hat for about a minute. Would minimal sun exposure at this point damage any grafts? I would estimate that my scalp was exposed for about 1-2 minutes max.

You'll be fine! I had exactly the same experience when I had my HT.I was outside for a very short time at about 6 weeks. No adverse effects. What you really need to watch out for is redness since that hair has not been exposed to alot of sun. Even at 6 months when i went out without a hat a few times, I noticed redness. At 18 months, i have no lingering effects from any of that. Good luck and good growing!
