The night of the procedure, I didnt sleep well. Couldn't get comfortable and wound up waking up every 20 minutes or so. At one point, I realized a pillow had shifted and had come in contact with the recipient area. I don't think it was there for more than 5-10 minutes, and doubt it rubbed, but it soaked up a lot of blood. Not that you could tell from looking at my head. No visable leakage. Thought it was fine. But its been 6 months and growth as been sub-par. Could that be the cause?
Answer: First night care The first night after a procedure is probably the most important night regarding your hair transplant. I always say the first 24 hours is your most important time to be as relaxed and do a little activity as possible. Keeping your head open to air and not having any bandages or coverings over your head will help out with the outcome. Here at Natural Transplants, we recommend our patients sleep at a 45 to 60° angle with no covering over there grafted area. And usually by morning time the graphs are more stable and our patients are able to fly home. If there is an area that uses a little bit I usually recommend a hair dryer on the cool setting to go over the area for about five or 10 minutes in this usually resolves the bleeding.

Answer: How Delicate are grafts the first night? The grafts are pretty delicate the first couple of days after the procedure. However, hair does grow at different times, and you would need to allow for the full 12 months to really assess. I recommend you discussing this with your surgeon so the area can be monitored.

Answer: Grafts Delicate Night One The grafts are typically very delicate the first night of the procedure, and most at risk of being dislodged. From your description, it seems like you may have caused some bleeding to the area, but didn't actually dislodge the grafts themselves. Typically, you would see the actual grafts dislodged (with follicles) and there would be empty sites where they dislodged from. At 6 months, the good news is that it is still very early in the process. The full result isn't apparent for one full year. Hang in there, there is still a lot of growing and thickening that occurs. If by 9 months, you aren't seeing some decent density in the area then you may have cause for concern. It is still too early to tell at 6 months. Wait the full year and hopefully the result will be as expected.

Answer: Hair Transplant You should pay attention to the factors that affect the survival of grafts after hair transplantation. The healing process for the transplanted grafts takes place for about 8 to 10 days. You need to be very careful for the first two weeks after the hair transplantation. This is because the grafts are not fixated instantly after the transplantation. You can remove the bandages after 2 to 5 days of the procedure but don’t touch the grafts. You can wash your hair gently using your hands with clean water.
