After how many days post-op are the grafts secure in the recipient area and can't be loosened? (Photo)

Question

I got a FUE 6 weeks ago and a total of 3750 grafts and almost all my trsndplanted hair has failed down. Yesterday was at a party and a friend scrub his hand in my receipient area to joke whit me , but that was not so funny. I got little pain because my skin is still sensible but i didn't bleed or something else. My question is can the grafts never grow up because of that? After how many days post op the grafts cannot be pulled out? Thanks a lot

Most research indicates that by the 9th day post procedure the grafts are secure and cannot be displaced.

It is best to contact your doctor about post operative care and instructions since each doctor has a different regimen.  Many doctors say that the grafts are considered secure after a few weeks (to be safe).

at 6 weeks you do not need to worry, the grafts would not be harmed by your friend scrub your head this far out post op.

By the sixth week, there is notning that can harm your grafts short of cutting it with a knife. I am sure that you are sensitive when someone does that to you, no problem
