Can a Hair Grafts Come Loose after 3 day of Hair Transplant. I gently washed my transplanted area, advice?

sal0111May 25, 2017
I used the technique that the doctor told me to use which is to gently dab not rub the transplanted area, I was being Super gentle when I was applying the shampoo to my transplanted area, When I was done I grab a napkin and gently dabbed dry the transplant area, When I started to look really close in the mirror I noticed that a few of the grafts seem to be coming out. they are still in my head but I can see like half the follicle. It look like half in and half out. is this normal?
