Aggressive use of hair clippers on transplanted hair. Any suggestions? (photos)

March 18, 2015
Asked By:Perth08 in Sydney, AU

I had an FUE procedure three months ago of roughly 3600 grafts. Two weeks ago (so 2.5 months post op) I went to a bbq and foolishly let a drunk guy shave my hair with hair clippers. He pushed the clippers quite hard into my scalp and my scalp was red afterwards. 1. I am wondering whether it is possible this damaged any of the grafts and prospects of growth? 2. I am wondering whether an aggressive use of the hair clippers has caused pitting in my scalp which I have noticed afterwards Thanks
