I recieved a hair transplant and on the 12th day after the transplant worked up a heavy sweat br running. Could that have harmed the grafts? I was also wondering when I can lift weights again. Will lifting harm the grafts? Thanks!
At 12 days after a hair transplant, nothing can really damage your grafts. The only thing that may be affected by heavy exercise is the donor area scar. You need to avoid heavy weight lifting activity or exercise that increases the tension on the closed wound edges if you had hair transplant through a strip procedure.
