Asked By:HairIsConfidence in Indianapolis, IN

FUE hair transplannt (14 days from the surgery): The scabs are still kind hard. In few instances my hand goes automatically to pick them up. But many instances, it comes off. But i both cases I have seen hair attached as given in the pic. It kind of worries me. My donor area seems to be almost healed. But scabs are left in transplant area. Is there any chances that I am losing my grafts ? Most of the scabs contains hair. A bad thing?
