During my hair transplant I coughed loudly a couple of times. Will that make my grafts pop out?

Asked By:jay boy in Australia, AU

During my hair transplant (while the doctor was putting the grafts into the incisions), I coughed loudly a couple of times. I also coughed once right after he finished the procedure completely. I am scared that the coughing made some of the grafts pop out. Will coughing pop out newly transplanted grafts? I am stressed and really hope to get some answers from you experts. Thank you
