Answer: Oily scalp after transplant. Is this normal?
It is best to ask your surgeon about post operative care as each doctor has their unique regimen. There is no clear way to tell if you lost a graft. Bleeding is one sign that you may have lost a graft.
Thanks for the question. Based on your photos, the 2000-2500 grafts might be good option for you, but it would be wrong to say something for sure. You should see a board certified surgeon. You can then plan the process together and discuss the results. I wish you all the best.
It can take 6 to 12 months after surgery to see results. If you are concerned it is best to contact your doctor. Grafts cannot be dislodge after a week or so. At 55 days you are safe.
