1 day after FUE I hit my head on the plane roof when coming back home. Should I be worried? (Photo)

Question

Right in middle to the left in photo you can see a dark spot I think where it was hit. Will the hair not grow there. This is one week after.

Jae Pak, MD · Answer

Accidents sometimes happen.  Hitting or bumping your head would not likely cause harm to your transplanted grafts unless the trauma was severe.

Sean Behnam, MD · Answer

It's probably fine, assuming the bump wasn't very severe and it doesn't seem like there was much trauma. But there's no sure way to know right now over the internet, you really just have to wait and see if the area grows the same as your recipient area over the next year.

Matt Tahsini, MD · Answer

Thank you for posting your question. It's too early to find out at this stage if damage was caused to your grafts. If there was no bleeding involved or dislodged grafts, you are probably good. But only once you reach 100% growth 12 months out will you know.

Ilker Apaydin, MD · Answer

There is nothing to worry unless there is bleeding. Dislodge of a graft/ grafts will cause a bleeding . Good luck

Justin Misko, MD · Answer

If you hit your head and didn't see any bleeding then you likely didn't lose any grafts.  It looks like they are all intact.
