Accidentally hit my head 12 days after my FUE hair transplant, blood came out. Did I loose many grafts? (photos)

Asked By:lonrot in Los Angeles, CA

I hit my head against the edge of a kitchen cabinet. The impact wasn't hard at all but it was excruciatingly painful. Blood came out, I'm worried I will be left with a bald patch when hair starts to grow. Can the grafts survive this after 12 days? If not how many grafts might have been lost? Thank you for the advice! Please check the pictures.

Answer: If the injury was severe enough to cause normal hair loss, then it may be an issue. Sometimes if you dislodged a graft
