Do I lose hair follicles 11 or 12 days after hair transplant, if I touch my transplanted area or slowly remove scabs? (Photo)

July 13, 2017
Asked By:RyanAlan in Alberta, AB

Before 14 days, (two weeks) I make a hair transplant and every thing is going good, I need just a little in my front area, so after 11 days or 12 when I touch my transplanted area (front head) when the hairs transplanted, I have remove some scabs about 4-5 and with them are about 2-3 hair yarn per one scab, with these small hair are a something small with white color, so I'm afraid I lost these hairs.. Is this is possible or not ? Still 14 days and I have some cabs now..

Answer: It is normal to lose transplanted hairs weeks after surgery. It may take 6 to 12 months to see new hairs grow out.
