Resuming Activities After Hair Transplantation

How long after surgery can you wash hair and resume activities without fear of grafts becoming dislodged?

Other than heavy lifting, you can resume all activities in a couple of days after the transplant and run a marathon in 5 days if you like. Dislodging the grafts is not a problem after the second day, unless you do something like pick or scratch the recipient area. I am assuming that the doctor uses very small needles for making the recipient site. If the doctor uses large sites, then grafts can be dislodged beyond 2 days.
