I didn't use saline spray on recipient post FUE hair. Will that have any bearing on the survival of transplanted grafts? (Photo)

I was advised to use saline spray on the transplanted area from Day 0 of transplant. Somehow I was confused and started using saline spray from Day next to surgery. Will this have any bearing on survival of grafts. Please advise. Please find the day 5 pic of recipient area below.

It is normal to shed transplanted hairs weeks after surgery.  The new hairs may take 6 to 12 months to grow.

Any vasoconstrictive effects are very minor and there will be no effect on your surgery. I cannot give any advice on when to resume smoking, as you shouldn't. If you've given up smoking for the procedure then now is the best time to quit completely.

To determine the value of the donor area the doctor needs a hand microscope to measure the follicular unit density present. That will tell you much about your total donor supply

I never recommend that the donor area is massaged because it does not need any help with blood supply as it is normally good.

These hairs will sooner or later shed. They are never a problem for new hairs that start to grow. Usually, there is a lag time between the time the hairs shed (2-8 weeks) and the time the new hair grows (3-8 months). IF for any reason, there is an overlap between the two, pay no attention to it...
