18 days post FUE hair transplant. Did I permanently lose graft or is it just a shed hair? (photo)

Asked By:steamboat182 in Chatham, I3

18 days post FUE (3000 grafts at hairline) after applying a little pressure washing side parts of hair a detectable lump found in my hand looks like I removed one follicle (see picture). It clearly was growing as a double hair single implant but is now out of my head along with the base to the hair, I presume the follicle or perhaps the dermal papilla. Is that a permanently lost graft, as that's what is seems rather than the standard hair shock loss one anticipated?
