Eyebrow Tranplantation Hair Fall off?

ebtihalSep 29, 2013
I had an eyebrow transplantation 12 days ago, from day 9 after the surgery till today ( day 12 ) i found my newly tranplanted hair fall off with crust during washing my face , i didn't scratch them or pick them up, what i do is washing my brows with soup and do circular motion. Did I lost those graft and disrupt them? or this is normal ?
