Honest Hairline Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 (edited) Hey guys, just wanted to ask about when you can start to play football after a hair transplant. Many clinics have different post operative instructions and the time you can go back to playing football ranges from 3 weeks to 3 months. I am now 4 weeks post op and my surgeon told me it would be okay. So yesterday we played just for fun and a ball with moderat velocity hit my head. Unfortunately I went to some forums where people claimed that the grafts could die and you ll have to wait 3 months in order for the transplant to be succesful. Has anybody had any ecperience with that? And is there a way to tell if you lost a graft? Edited May 2 by Honest Hairline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is hard to find any reasoning online for those timelines. Dr Feller commented in a forum that contact sports could induce hematomas, however this would be unlikely.
