Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic

Transplanted hair are fully embedded after 14 days of surgery, that is why you can resume your normal activities after 14 days. Sweating will not cause loss of any implants as they have already got embedded.

It is recommended to avoid strenuous physical activity 4 weeks postoperatively. You should avoid going to gym, cycling, swimming, lifting heavy weights for 4 weeks after surgery. This is to avoid any stretching of the scar.

Yes you can start taking hair supplements like tablet follihair as it will promote hair growth.

I hope to have answered your queries and would be happy to clarify any further doubts.
