Hi Doctors. Following my fue I was advised to very gently wash my hair 3 days after surgery then gradually increase the pressure everyday. However after my first wash I began to gently brush my head with my finger tips daily to remove a lot of loose scabs which began to fall out. I am now paranoid that I shouldn't have done this and lost some grafts although there was no bleeding. Was this ok to do? Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks

Answer: Abscence of bleeding with the scabs dislodgement makes it likely okay If a graft comes off for good, as in being lost from dislodgement, you would observe some bleeding. Since you did not observe any bleeding, it is likely that no graft has been lost. Keeping the grafted areas and scabs very moist from the time of surgery enables the easy removal of scabs with minimal trauma to the grafts.

Answer: No Bleeding = No Damage It's as simple as that! In my experience the grafts are secured in place by the normal healing process by day 3. I have tried several times to disrupt grafts from their bed by gently washing at 3 days and they do not move. If viable grafts are dislodged there is bleeding from the site. It's as simple as that!
