    Default Wind damaging the grafts

    I think I am being a little bit obsessive about this, but I still feel I must ask you guys because this HT is such a huge deal for me.
    How sensitive are the transplanted grafts actually after a FUE surgery?
    I know they are sensitive, but not how sensititive.

    I realize that the optimal thing you can do is to do nothing else than sit in your home without going outside or performing any activities the days after the surgery.
    I did however go outside for a little walk the day after the surgery, not wearing a cap, to get som fresh air.
    The problem was that after a while I noticed it was very windy so I went straight back home, but I must have been outside in the windy weather for about five minutes.
    Could even this have damaged the grafts in some way?
    Is there generally risky to be outside the day after a HT if its windy outside?

    Sounds like a stupid question, but I just want to make sure.
    Differeny clinics have different restrictions for what you can and can't do after surgery.

    Thumbs up

    I don't see how a bit of wind can damage the grafts inserted into your head. Just don't go out and run a marathon tomorrow and you should be fine.

    Wind won't hurt you grafts, just be sure to avoid tornadoes, tsunamis and hurricanes.
