Damaged hair grafts. What are the signs? (Photo)

Direct sun exposure is not generally recommended after surgery. If you are concerned it is best to check with your doctor for a recheck.

It
is best to avoid prolonged direct sun exposure to your scalp after a hair
transplant.We send our patients home
with a cap and specific instructions to wear a cap and/or apply sun block spray
SPF 30 or greater every 2 hrs while out in the sun during the first 6 months.

İt is a normal sun burn/redness and does not effect the grfats .So sitting out in the direct sun for three hours does not damages your hair grafts at all.

Thank you for posting your question. At this stage there is no way to find out if the implanted grafts have been damaged. You should avoid any long-term exposure to the sun prior to your 6 months mark. Normal exposure if perfectly fine, but do not sunbathe. Hope this helps.

You probably got a sunburn and most likely did not damage any of the hairs in the grafts that are on your head.
