How long would you wait to exercise after FUE?

[bennyt89]

In particular running/jogging, taking into account I come from a very hot and humid place so there's a lot of sweat involved too.

 

Getting a bit restless sitting in my ass doing nothing, prior to surgery I would exercise every day. My stomach agrees as I've put on a few pounds too !! I know it's not the end of the world but I'd like to get up and active asap if possible. All I'm doing right now is exercising my playstation thumbs.

 

My own doc says 2 weeks for any physical activity but use common sense. What are your thoughts guys?

Running isn't as much of an issue as something like weight lifting as it doesn't cause the same straining. However, I would wait the full 2 weeks as instructed. Judging from when you posted your question about shedding 6 days post-op I don't think you have many days to go before then.

Follow your doc. 2 weeks is reasonable.

After 9 days, the grafts are firmly rooted, so you're probably safe to go then? 2 weeks sounds reasonable though.

I had sex for about 45 minutes the night of my 2nd procedure lol Couldn't resist that big hotel bed. All of my grafts grew in fine
