Had a hair transplant yesterday. There was quiet a bit of bleeding as I touched it accidentally. Did I lose hair grafts?

Question

I’m really worried that I have lost a lot of grafts..I got 2300 grafts

Michael B. Wolfeld MD, FACS · Answer

If there is bleeding, then it is possible some grafts may have been dislodged, but not necessarily.  It is very hard to know from the photo.  I would recommend to return to your surgeon for an evaluation.

Jae Pak, MD · Answer

It is not clear if you lost any grafts based on photos alone.  In general, when the grafts do fall out there may be some bleeding.

Guray Yesiladali, MD, FEBOPRAS · Answer

Hello, Thank you for your question. Everything seems ok from the photos. You should avoid hard touches to your grafts minimum 2 weeks. Please be careful and see your surgeon for your further worries.

Sara Salas, MD · Answer

it is possible that you may have loosened some grafts or even lost a few however it is best that you check with your surgeon and receive an evaluation.

Everything looks okay. Don't worry. At least from the photos no grafts seem to be dislodged. Consult your doctor for an opinion.

If you did not pick on it or bump it hard, you are probably ok and did ot lose grafts but go back and see your surgeon if you are concerned
