24 days post op FUE, I hit my head on my car and blood came out, did I loose my grafts? (photos)

Question

Hello, I hit my head while sitting in the car today and blood started coming out of that point so did i just lose my grafts from that point or was it only a pimple that popped? And how should i take care of it?

If the injury was severe enough to cause normal hair loss, you may have damaged your transplanted hairs as well.

Hello! Thank you for your question.You are over 3 weeks post operative, there is no need to worry about graft damaging. They are all already utilized.

3 weeks post op your grafts have taken and can’t be damaged. Your transplanted grafts are safe.

William Rassman, MD (retired) · Answer

at 24 days,all of the FUE grafts should be solidly in place. Anyone who hits their head, even without a hair transplant, can bleed
