Can I Go in a Hot Tub Days After a Hair Transplant?

I had a hair transplant completed two days ago. I was a IIIv. I recieved approx. 2200. I think everything seems to be ok but I am concerned about my post op care. Is it safe to take a bath or jacuzzi bath? I am also doing hyperbaric sessions. Tomorrow will be my fourth 90 minute session. Should I continue with the hyperbaric session? Lastly, what does a raised graft look like? I did sit in my jacuzzi bath for a while got out and the recipient sites looked sort of white. Thank you very much for your insight you are providing a great service.

I generally tell my patients that they can run a marathon 5 days after the surgery, but any prolonged soaking of the head that has had donor wound harvesting may not be a good idea. If you had an FUE harvesting technique, then the rules change and you can safely soak in a hot tub (a clean one) or go surfing in 5-7 days (not in polluted waters of course). Providing that you do not soak your head, I do not see a problem with a series of short Jacuzzi baths at 5 days. Hyperbaric sessions are interesting. I would love to know if your hair continues to keep growing and avoids the surgical shock that usually makes the hair disappear for a few months after a transplant. Please let me know if all the hair is growing at 2 months.
