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?

It is best to see your doctor for a recommendation based on your results.  Most doctors may say one year is a good interval but there may be instances where you can shorten the interval.

It is best to see a doctor in person for an examination for such a difficult case.  The options you were told are very reasonable.

If you have a high forehead you do not like, see a doctor for possible treatment options such as hair transplant surgery or forehead reduction.

It can take 6 to 12 months after surgery to see results.  If you are concerned it is best to contact your doctor.  Sometimes you may look worse before the hairs grow in.

Earlier you quit smoking the better it is for your health.  If you are looking for ways to smoke as long as possible before a surgery there is no set rule.

If you are having pain it is best to contact your doctor.  It is not normal to have extreme pain.  Some people may experience differently or have a very low tolerance to pain.
