I inadvertently stretched my head scalp where hair had been transplanted last night, while lifting the vacuum cleaner. I see no actual bleeding but felt the stretch as I twisted around with the vacuum. Could that dislodge the newly transplanted follicles in their new home?

Answer: Head got stretched! Based on your description it is unlikely that any damage occurred to the grafts.As long as there was no bleeding and there is no obvious change to the area everything should be fine!

Answer: Unlikely It is very unlikely. Although increased activity is not recommended initially, it is unlikely that this caused an issue. If you were to go upside down increasing blood flow and therefore swelling to the head it could potentially pop out the follicles though. I would take it easy for a few more days. Best of luck, Dr. Giordano

Answer: Loss of follicles after transplant If you had no bleeding then you should be fine. And stick to your aftercare. One of the points must include 'do not bend down'!!

Answer: Graft Dislodgement As long as there is no bleeding after the procedure, it is unlikely you lost any tissue. The first couple of days after the procedure is most critical, so be careful about anything touching the grafts for the next couple of days.
