I'm in my mid-30s and I have had two FUT transplants, of 1900 grafts and 4500 grafts to my hair and partial mid-scalp and 2000 in the crown.

If your doctor advised you to wash more thoroughly and you follow the advice, that is the best you can do. If there are any issues, let your doctor know. It is normal to have shed the transplanted hairs weeks after surgery.
