Will wearing a hat on a 6 hour flight home affect FUE transplanted hairs to fall out?

Asked By:DublinTurkey in Ireland, IN

I recently had a hair transplant and flew home the following day, before I flew home I was given a fedora style hat. With the wait in the airport + the flight I had the hat on for 7 hours.i had the hat rested very lightly on my head it may have slightly rested on some of the transplanted area which could not be avoided but very lightly! I am wondering would this affect the hair at all or cause it to fall out just how sensitive is this area or am I just completely overthinking a non issue?
