Walking in a sunny day for around 10 minutes during the first 3 days after fue, does it damage grafts and leads to failure?

You should be ok. Do try to keep out the Sun though. Sunburn can inflame the skin which could effect graft survival.
Where did you end up going for surgery?
It would be great if you could update your other thread or start a new one documenting your hair transplant.

Sure I will document from a to z.
Just I need some time. I am preparing photos and video clips.
Regarding the effect of sunlight, I am getting confusing information, I asked the clinic they said no problem at all, while other sources are saying it damages grafts.
I just had around 10 minutes max 15 minutes, day 2, I could not find a taxi so I had to walk around 10 to 15 minutes. That is all,
I am a bit worried,

You should be ok if the scalp was not burnt.

I had my FUE ON 23/04/202, the after op recovery is ok and over all I am pleased, thing are moving in the right direction. My only concern is that my donor area still swelled. I never knew or read or heated that the donor area can swell, I only read the swelling can be in face around eyes and nose and front head and it should subside by or before week 2.
Is it normal or common swelling in a donor area? And if so, how long it lasts?

Its hard to see any swelling but I would contact the clinic and ask them if they are of with you taking anti inflammatory meds to reduce any swelling you may have. Your donor looks pretty thin. You may have quite a bit of shock loss too that should recover.

Ali, what clinic did you end up going to?

Thanx. Now it is ok, no swelling.
From the start I knew that my donor area is not that good.
Over all, how it looks and what you think.
Why you said (quiet a bit of shock loss)?

Your donor looks thin all over which is why it looks like shock loss.
