Question

4 days after a fue procedure done and I am worried about losing the graft where blood has ran out. Doctors any idea? Sencerly Karl

Jae Pak, MD · Answer

In some cases you may lose one or two grafts after surgery.  If you have bleeding from an area it may be a sign.

John Kahen, MD · Answer

Some grafts may become dislodged after a procedure. To prevent further loss, be sure to follow all pre-op instructions carefully. If you have any other concerns, consult with your hair specialist.

Melvin L. Mayer, MD · Answer

If you have punctate bleeding in the recipient area during the first several days after hair transplant surgery- FUE or FUT you likely have lost a graft. In the whole scheme of your transplant, the loss of one or two grafts will not be noticeable. These usually dry out quickly and are not replantable.

William Rassman, MD (retired) · Answer

At 4 days, if you have fresh bleeding, you might have lost a graft or two.  Just be careful with the area so you don't lose anymore
