8 days post op, scabs off, are my grafts secure?

By day 8 your grafts should be securely healed in, though the little hairs will shed.  I let my patients wear hats and sleep however they wish after the first week, but it's never a bad idea to contact your surgeon for his/her personal opinion if it is not addressed in your postop instructions.

Hi, thank you for the question. It is tought, that grafts are secure by the 7th day after hair transplantation. These grafts could only be removed surgically. It is a good idea to wear a hat for several weeks after the surgery making sure it doesn’t press directly on the grafts. Please remember that the grafts were harvested from the back of the scalp from an area that has received very little sunlight. It’s very susceptible to sunburn
