Hey,
I'm thinking of having an FUT procedure in about a month's time. My plan was to return to school after the procedure. Unfortunately I've had a change of heart with my career goals, and now will have to wait another year to get into my desired program. This affects my decision to go through with the hair procedure as the job I'm currently working at could be considered somewhat physically demanding. It's a field job (hard hat) that sometimes involves lifting over 80lbs. What I'm concerned about is sub-optimal healing to the donor area, specifically the scar. I've heard that heavy lifting and strenuous activity after an FUT procedure can result in a wider scar. Unfortunately, I am not a good candidate for FUE. The clinic where I'm do have the procedure at said that I cannot wear a hard hat for a month after the procedure, and I've read that it can be best to wait between 3-6 months after an FUT procedure before again beginning strenuous physical activity. Would it maybe be best to postpone the procedure for a year until I return to school and no heavy lifting is involved? Thoughts or opinions?
