Ok everyone, would love everyone’s advice on this. Dr(who I really like and is very attentive post op) said after 10 days I can start working out again. Some advice on here is 2 weeks. I am currently at 20 days post op and figured I’d wait until the 21 day mark mainly because I want to be extremely cautious. Lol

i only ride the cycle bike for exercise but I get into it, sweat like crazy. Is 21 days post op enough??

 

I had an FUE

You can typically return to normal activity 7 days post op.  At 21 days this should not be an issue.

If you did FUT, it is important you avoid weightlifting exercises that affect the neck as this can widen the scar.

My advice does not constitute a patient-physician relationship nor as medical advice and all medical questions/concerns should be addressed to your medical provider.

Apparently it's weight lifting that they say you should avoid until maybe 3-4 weeks post op as it outs more stress on the body and could impact you. Cardio based exercises and lighter walking can be done more earlier.

For how long?  I'm 5 weeks post op and I do rack pulls as a part of my normal lifting routine (which I would like to get back to soon).  I also do neck curls and neck extensions, but am willing to wait a while to do those.

10 days after an FUE is okay, though 14 days is ideal.

Thank you all so much!! Tomorrow(May 3rd) is exactly 3 weeks. With all your thoughts I figure why not wait one more day for a full 3 weeks and start then. Lol 

 

Tomorrow it is, back to cycling! Woop Woop
