Sweating 15 days post op - could this damage the grafts ?

[Beno99]

I’m in turkey right now and it’s very hot here during the day, I went out today for some hours the first time since the hair transplant and sweated quite a bit because of the weather. Could this potentially cause damage to the grafts ? Or is it safe 15 days post op ?

Your grafts are very safe ! No probs after a week let alone 2 weeks 😎

Thanks for the answer! So there is no way it might damage the grafts in any way or make the results worse ? Its just that online I’ve read you need to avoid sweating and the sun for a few weeks or it might damage the grafts. I’ve did a good job avoiding both till today. I hope what happened today won’t have an effect on the results.

Yes you should be careful to get sun burn on the skin thats recovering the first 2 weeks. But the grafts themselves are very well secure under the surface after the first 7 days. You can protect yourself from getting sun burnt but sweating isn’t going to cause a issue.
