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: 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. As always, post-procedural concerns should be addressed by the doctor who performed the procedure as a first step. All the best,

Answer: Sneezing after an ARTAS FUE Hair Transplant Procedure Hi there. I am glad you had a great experience with the ARTAS. It is unlikely that a sneeze would dislodge or affect any grafts placed yesterday. In the coming few weeks you may notice some shedding which is completely normal - not to worry. Also, a day after an ARTAS procedure it is normal to feel a bit of discomfort or tightness. This can last a week or two.

Answer: Sneezing post transplant. Hello. I doubt the common sneezing at 24 hours post procedure would dislodge your grafts. The body acts as glue & the grafts are held into the scalp with the tiny blood scab. Everything should be fine
