Please see attached photos. I hit my head on the fridge door, 23 days after hair transplant. There was no noticeable bleeding, but there’s dark redness and some swelling. Have I damaged my grafts and can this bump impact hair growth long term? Thanks for any help.

Answer: If the injury was severe enough to cause normal hair loss then it may affect your transplanted hairs.
