Hi, I've had 2100 grafts to restore hairline five weeks ago and was told I can resume normal workouts, I am a boxer and I was sparring today with a headguard and I got caught with a shot that caused a tiny cut on my recipient area and there was a small speck of blood on my finger when I touched it; did I lose the graft? I was told I can resume my normal physical training schedule after 4 weeks but left it an extra week to be safe. Please help did I lose any hairs? Thank you!!

Answer: If you cut your scalp and had some bleeding you may have lost a graft (or not). There is no way to tell.
We do not recommend young patient before the age of 25 to perform a hair transplantation as the hair loss will go on and this means that you will need more surgeries in the upcoming years. Therefore you should start to use minoxidil and finasterid to prevent hair loss and maybe 2-3 years later ...
