  7. HAVE I DAMAGED THE GRAFTS...

Have I damaged the grafts by masturbating after hair transplantation?

April 7, 2016
Asked By:kevin.c123 in Berlin, GA

Hello. I Had a hairtransplantation and i masturbated 7 hours later(5-7min). After i cleaned the area with water. The following 3 days i masturbated also 2 times per day and I cleaned the area after it. I know it was very stupid. I was not bleeding or something like that. Could there be a chance that the grafts are not damaged?
