After hair transplant I plucked some hairs on day 6th after treatment, will they grow back?

Question

Hi. I had hair transplant 6 days ago. I didn't like the way the hairline was aligned so I decided to change it on day 6th after the treatment. I decided to pluck some hairs. There was a lot of bleeding still. DO you think the hairs will grow back again? I hope they won't. Thanks in advance.

You pulled out your own follicles after surgery.. on purpose?  It may not grow back.  Only time will tell.  It is always a good idea to follow up with your doctor.

These hairs won't grow back. Provided you took the root with the hair and not just the fiber, it is impossible to grow back

Normally it takes 3-10 days for the hair shaft and bulb to take full root.  It is hard to say for sure since your in the middle of the "safe period".

Every graft you plucked out will be gone forever. Why would you undo the transplants.  Never pick on the grafts as that can also cause infection.
