I just had an ARTAS FUE transplant yesterday. It went great! I find myself getting nervous over every little thing though, as it is quite an investment and I want to make sure each graft stays good and healthy and a full head of hair is achieved. I just sneezed really hard twice. My scalp feels tight and a little sore today and I felt the sneezes in my scalp. Would a sneeze dislodge a transplant?
Answer: Can a sneeze dislodge ARTAS FUE grafts one day following a procedure? Dear Eepittyouken,Thank you for writing in with your question. It is very unlikely that a couple of sneezes are going to dislodge grafts from an ARTAS FUE transplant procedure performed the previous day. The follicles are held into the scalp with a fibrin clot, which at 24 hours should not be disturbed by simple sneezing. The sensations in your scalp are almost certainly due to the tugging on the skin during a sneeze, and since the area was anesthetized with needles the day before, the scalp can remain a bit tender for a week or so following a procedure. I hope this information is helpful to you.

Answer: Dislodging a graft with a sneeze after an ARTAS procedure Sneezing after a graft has been placed that has been harvested by any technique (including the ARTAS procedure) will not dislodge it. When the grafts are inserted into the scalp they are held in place with a fibrin clot. Think of this as a thick "sticky" substance or a glue. It takes several days for the graft to be "locked" into place to the point where the follicles can not be pulled out. But again until this happens a simple sneeze will not cause the follicle to fall out.

Answer: Sneeze and hair transplant Sneezing can potentially increase hair pressure and therefore lead to issues with graft displacement. That being said it is highly unlikely for this to occur. Each day that passes makes sneezing less likely and will make it harder for grafts to be displaced. Best Anil Shah

Answer: ARTAS FUE and sneezing Transplanted hair follicles are susceptible to trauma during the first few days and weeks after a transplant session, regardless of the technique used to harvest the grafts. Some discomfort, numbness, tingling, and occasionally shooting pains in the scalp after a transplant session are common. As long as grafts are not physically dislodged, it is extremely unlikely that sneezing would affect them. Most of the time, if the grafts are disrupted or removed from their recipient sites, bleeding occurs, and is an indicator that grafts may have been lost.

Answer: Sneezing after ARTAS It is unlikely that sneezing will cause any significant loss of grafts. Over the next week or so you may notice small numbers of grafts being shed. This is normal so please do not be too concerned.
