Asked By:tommead10 in Fulham, F1

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.
