Hair is falling with white thing after hair transplant? And does my scalp looks clean from scabs? (Photos)

Question

I'm 17 days post FUE HT and most scabs fell off by the 10th day. Now I'm seeing something white on the middle of the transplanted hair not on the scalp but it's not falling except with the hair. What is that.. should i remove it with a comb? I removed some of them by rubbing my hair gently did I damage my grafts? Thank you.

It is best to check with your doctor for post operative care.  If you follow your doctor's post operative instructions it should be fine.

This is expected. Grafted hair shafts, would fall with tissue debris attached to them. It should be nothing to worry about. Avoid digging in to the recipient area and provoking an inflammation however.

Sean Behnam, MD · Answer

That's normal, your transplanted hairs generally would fall out between a week and two months after your surgery. The white parts you are seeing are likely the hair root- if there's no bleeding/trauma to the area I highly doubt your grafts are damaged at this point.

You have stil scub on your top of head in the 3.th weeks, but it would be cleaned at end of second weeks. All scabs should be cleaned with pressured (not gentle) massage to transplant area .Dont forget that you may wash your head with normal pressure and if you need you can use a soapy wet towel for massage the scubby area, it Works very well to remove scubs .

You are undergoing a normal post procedure process that occurs after most hair transplants. Hang in there and the regrowth to continue with then the next 2 to 3 months.
