Asked By:Eepittyouken in Wichita, KS

Had an accident while pursuing the leash of a runaway pup during which my knee gave out and I crashed head-first into a steel garage door. My head hit a corner bracket fairly hard, but thankfully I had a ball-cap on which mitigated the damage somewhat. Attached is a pic of what the transplant looked like post op, followed by pics taken after the accident. Seems to me a wound similar to an intense rug-burn (see the scrape inside the hat). Is there any risk to the integrity of the transplant?

Answer: You need to see your doctor for an examination. You have to be concerned about scarring and no hair growth along the injury.
