Bumped my head on 13th day after HT. Would the grafts get damaged within the scalp from the pressure of the impact?

Asked By:rockkurtangle in Mumbai, IN

Its been 13 days since my Hair transplant for 1600 grafts. While sleeping in the bus, due to sudden braking, I accidentally bumped my head on the front side (just above the hairline where grafts were inserted) to the seat ahead. I checked with my fingers & there was no bleeding. Just slight pain for couple of hours. I assume grafts are firmly placed after 6/7 days & cannot be dislodged, but is there a possibility of the grafts getting damaged within the scalp from the pressure of the impact ?

Answer: It would be unlikely you damaged the grafts with a bump on the head unless the trauma was significant.
