I had eyebrow transplant 10 days ago. I pulled on my scabs that had 10 to 15 hairs to it; did I destroy grafts by doing this?

I am worried since so many hairs were pulled when the scab came off. However, there was no blood following what I did. The directions I was given said I could gently wash my brows with a little soap after the first week & I thought pulling on the scabs would be okay. Now, there's a missing patch of eyebrow and in a couple months, I am afraid there will be a couple bald spots due to the grafts I pulled out. Can I continue to pull on the scabs if the grafts are establish or should I leave them alone?
