Hit my head pretty hard 3 months post FUE transplant op. There was a little blood. Did I possibly lose grafts?

Question

Ross A. Clevens, MD, FACS · Answer

Thank you for your question. Your grafts are sufficiently in place at the 3 month mark, however, it would not hurt for you to consult with your board certified facial plastic surgeon.Best wishes,

Jae Pak, MD · Answer

After 3 months it would be very hard to damage the grafts unless the trauma was so severe it causes local hair loss.

Alba Reyes, MD · Answer

Other than unnecessary pain to yourself... you have not caused damage to the follicles. They are sealed and secured within first 9 days after your procedure .

Michael Meshkin, MD - Account Suspended · Answer

At three months the possibility of losing hair for hitting head is low. You just need to wait and see after all the hair grows in.

William Rassman, MD (retired) · Answer

At 3 months, there is little damage you ca do with bumping your head. The grafts should be securely positioned at this time
