Full Activity After Hair Transplant

How soon after hair transplant can I lift heavy weights and also go surfing? Are there any vitamins for the hair, so that the transplanted hair grows healthy and strong?

If you have a traditional strip harvesting technique for hair transplants, I would suggest that you wait until the stitches or staples are out (14 days or so) before going to soak your hair for long periods of time with activies like surfing. Heavy weight lifting also is included with some restriction for a month or so (to be safe, you should wait around 4-6 weeks before doing any heavy lifting where you have to strain your neck muscle). Running, biking, and such can be started within 5 days after a strip harvesting hair transplant.

If you have an FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) harvesting technique, you can resume full activity including scuba, surfing, or weight lifting within a week of the surgery. You can go surfing a few weeks after surgery, including light weight lifting.

All healthy people will grow the hair after a hair transplant. You can not stop it from growing; well, almost true, except for those people who do not exercise good judgments.
