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

Boy_BoyNov 26, 2013
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.

Dear SpgelloThanks for the question. Your grafts become solidified (safe) during the 3-6th day after hair transplant. If you don´t harm or damage your scabs during that time, your grafts will be safe. You can start wearing a cap and put it on with caution already 1,2 days after hair transplant. ...

Bone marrow transplantation carries a risk of treatment-related death, graft versus host disease, and HAIR LOSS as one of the side effects.  Your idea sounds great on paper but I hope there aren't any doctors willing to do this even overseas.

Dandruff or oily skin will not change if you have a hair transplant surgery.  Dandruff or oily skin has nothing to do with hair loss.  Transplanted hairs will not be affected by dandruff or oily skin.

Generally, the supplements and medication that you take following a hair transplant can help protect your naturally-occuring hairs (ie the non-transplanted hairs). You can discuss your options with your hair transplant surgeon, but I recommend to my patients a treatment plan that includes some...
