Are excessive scabs after a hair transplant an early sign of failed hair transplant? (Photo)

August 27, 2022

It’s been just over 3 months since my hair transplant. I don’t really have a huge concern but a slight curiousity. I have browsed through many 10 days post op photos of the patients and they didn’t have a lot of scabbing compared to mine on day 10. Someone in the comment section had mentioned that this is an early sign. Less scab formation means highly successful HT and excessive scabs formation means HT might be a failure . Is this true ?
