Weights Post-FUT

[TrixGlendevon]

Hi all!

I want to know what other FUT patients from clinics that consistently deliver good, pencil line scars have been advised in terms of how long they have to wait before going to the gym and lifting weights post-FUT? I am talking about the Koniors, H&Ws etc. I have heard huge variance in this from 2 weeks to 6 months so I was wondering what other people have been told.

Thanks

Trix

I would honestly stick with your doctor's advice. But yes it does vary and can be frustrating I know.

Thanks! I will, but I would like to know what other top doctors are recommending as the stay of absence from lifting weights.

If you try lifting too soon you'll feel the scar area throb.  Of course, STOP if that happens and delay lifting for another week or so.

You don't want to stretch your FUT scar (neck flexion) since that can impede scar healing. You can start very light lifting after 1 month and I wouldn't resume heavy lifting until at least 3 months

Ok but what is too soon according to your doctor? You had FUT with Konior - what did he advise/instruct you to do?

Thanks! This is actually what is putting me off most about getting a second one - the time out of the gym. Will need to consider it carefully.

I frankly forgot.  I've had FUT's with three different docs and I think they all had different time frames.  The common theme was to start back lightly.
