It's been day 5 since I have had the hair transplant surgery, I have advised to put almond oil on my scalp20mins, and then wash it off daily. I have noticed whitish bulbs on left side of my grafts only! Also I have lost two grafts! Should I be worried? I have been spraying the grafts bad scar with Saline fluids. I am worried about the bulbs?

Shock loss or acceleration of the normal hair loss pattern occurs after a hair transplant. This can be prevented with the drug finasteride (see video below).
The "holes" will likely look better with time. It may take several weeks to months. If you are concerned you can follow up with your doctor for a recheck.
After a hair transplant, you’ll need to wait for new hair regrowth. Optimal results will begin to appear within four months to one year. Hair which has been transplanted will become coarser, fuller and thicker. How fast hair growth happens may depend on the type of hair transplant that you had.
