I recently had 3000 Grafts placed in the frontal part of my head and I noticed 13 days post op that a few of my donor sites had ingrowns . It was not just a bump from healing - it actually had hairs in them . Can it be that some of the follicle was left behind or the tissue ? And can it be that I will still grow hair on those few donor grafts ?

Answer: Left Behind Hair grafts Hi there, First off the best person to ask would be your own surgeon. The reason you paid a lot more than the cost it takes for a tech to do the work is so that he or she can answer these questions and they better be willing and available! That being said you likely do have in grown hairs at this point (2 weeks). Most of the donor site should be healed. Generally some massage and compresses should help but sometimes they need to be unroofed by the surgeon. Hope that helps and congrats!

Answer: Ingrown hairs Ingrown hairs sometimes appear. When they do it is best to treat them with warm wet compresses twice a day
