Beach and Sun after Hair Transplant...?

[hova82]

I am 5 weeks out from transplant. I am bored and have another 3 weeks off work... any reason I cannot go to a tropical destination for some sun? Keeping a baseball hat on when outside?

Any input is appreciated?

Thanks!

Yep! As long as you keep your head covered with a hat/cap of some sort you'll be totally fine. Just keep it out of the sun and avoid sunburns for 6 months and you're totally ok. I even used a spray on sunscreen to be extra cautious should I ever find myself a couple unexpected moments in the sun without my hat (but really, always wear a hat... ) And run it by your doctor if you need extra peace of mind.
