Is it ok to shower with very low water pressure in the following days after hair transplant?

rbj89
Following my clinic tips I showered with a very low water pressure. After a while I saw online theres a consensus about ht docs n the use of a cup of water to hair wash. I was very careful on shower but felt recipient area a bit sore on the 3rd day right after shower. On the 4 week mark I saw an incredible "preview" of the result with a very high density. Q: besides the graft dislodgment, can the water pressure (even very low) injure the graft somehow affecting the survival rate of my new hairs?
