Hi, my name is Leonardo, im portuguese. I ve done a FUE in February and im a little worry because a lot of the scabs have not fallen yet.I alvo have dry and white skin at almost 3 months. Maybe i was a little too much careful while washing my hair, i don t know. Anyway, i want to ask if this is a lost graft or is just the shaft. Thank you.

It is best to ask your surgeon about post operative care and issues as each doctor has their unique regimen.  Bruising is not common.

It is best to ask your surgeon about post operative care as each doctor has their unique regimen.  If you shave your head for surgery, it would be evident until your hair grows out long enough.Most people return to work in 5 to 7 days.

FUE is just a harvesting method.  It does not relate to results.  If you want to keep your hair very short you may want the FUE.  In general, FUE inherently has transection issues.

If the injury was severe enough to harm your non-transplanted hair follicles, then it may be a problem.  If you are concerned, it is best to follow up with your doctor.
