I 'd a hair transplant of 6000 grafts 11 days ago .Tonight,I washed my head gently rubbed donor area with fingers and direct touches with shampoo to the recipient area as per doctor's advise.What scared me is that I could pull out some scabs from my the transplanted area they looked like grafts and had hair in it. what I already know is that hairs grown from the transplanted grafts fall (3rd- 4th week) and regrow after 2 months .But grafts themselves fall ?? is that normal ? what's left?
Answer: Scabs 6,000 is a lot! That's a lot of scabs and a lot of hair that will fall out with scabs. Don't sweat it, however, as the follicles should be integrated into the scalp by now.

Answer: A very common concern... Thanks for your question. I can appreciate your concern as it appears your were gently washing the recipient area and some scabs with hair appeared to fall out. This is a common phenomenon post hair transplant. My advise is that you should be very careful with the washing at such an early stage post procedure. I strongly advise clients not to rub the recipient area for at least 2 weeks post procedure. Washing with a saline spray and gently dabbing the recipient is ok to release the scabs/crusts but there should be no sheering force on the grafts.

Answer: Hair Transplant Thank you for your question. It is not unusual for a person to shed hair after having a Hair Transplant. It's actually quite common. I would just make sure you are rubbing very gentle and follow your providers post operative care instructions. Best of luck to you.

Answer: Hair Transplant Dear Sami_YounisThanks for the question. Shedding of hair grafts after a operation can be noticed anywhere between 1-5 months after the hair transplant procedure. Patients are often alarmed by the continued loss of hair, however, a few months after the operation, they can be assured that new hairs will eventually grow back again. I wish you all the best.

Answer: Can Grafts Be Pulled out 10 Days After a Hair Transplant? The grafts at 10 days post op are all healed in place. Only trauma can disrupt the these graft now. Simple pulling of the hair will not cause harm.

Answer: Can grafts be pulled out 10 days after transplant? While it is difficult to say whether or not you were pulling out grafts or just removing scabs with shedding hair shafts, I never recommend picking at the scabs due to the potential risk for graft removal. That being said, it is difficult to remove the grafts after about one week.
