Asked By:omarion07 in Dublin, IE

I recently had an FUE procedure and I'm on day 3. I've noticed that a few of the transplanted hair shafts were flat and as if they were stuck to the scalp. I showed them to the doctor and he said that this could happen but the follicles are firmly anchored inside. Is this true? Are the follicles still healthy and uble to produce hair in the future. Please find image attached below. I've circled on the hair shafts that appear to be flattened and stuck to the scalp. Thanks
