Did I lose grafts from hitting my head? (Photos)

Asked By:mr1001nights in San Francisco, CA

9 days after the transplant of 2574 grafts, the doctor added a 170 follicle front peak, as I thought my hairline looked too straight. Less that 48h after that, I hit my head against a glass door exactly on the peak. It wasnt a very hard hit, but enough to draw blood from one of the grafts. It turned into a scab very quickly. Its been 2 days & the tiny dark scab from the hit is still there (see wet hair pic). My hope is that since the pressure of the hit was inwards that I didn't lose any grafts
