The 1st day post-op I misread the instructions and made the mistake of gently tapping the recipient area with a soapy sponge, but I was gentle, no bleeding. About 4-6 days after the procedure, I noticed some cracks in between the recipient area after doing some light washing. Once the majority of the crusts came off 12-14 days after op, I didn’t have any little hairs in those areas and it kind of looked blank but when looking close, it looked like the follicle was in there without the hair on top. Does everything look normal to you?

Answer: 14 weeks post FUE and I want another opinion on how my results look?
I don't recommend touching your surgery area for about a week after surgery. Touching your head afterwards won't cause permanent damage. But also, you should get contact your doctor first and ask for information.
