Asked By:jacobseddiqi1 in Turkey, TR

Yesterday was day 6 of my fue and I lightly ran through the recipient area with my hand and noticed scabs or grafts there has been no bleeding or pain, washing since day 3 and just finished medication. My concern is it grafts or scabs? Also have been waking up with scabs in my bed.... I'll add day one post surgery photos and current photos to compare

Answer: It is normal to lose transplanted hairs weeks after surgery. It may take 6 to 12 months to see new hairs grow out.
