I did the transplant in winter. Naturally, the temperature in the room was high and the bowls with grafts stood near the radiator. The grafts remained in the saline solution for about 6-7 hours. What is the probability that the implanted grafts were damaged?
I had a FUE hair transplant about 4.5 months ago. However, I massaged my head extremely hard 6 weeks after my hair transplant and noticed a lot of small hairs fall out. As of today, there has not been much growth, specifically in the area that I massaged hard (frontal region). Of course I learned afterwards that I should have only gently massaged my hair. What are the chances that I have damaged/lost grafts from massaging too hard?
I have had hair transplant almost a year ago and since then my eyebrows seems heavy and close to my eyes and eyelashes, it feels like the gap between the eye and eyebrows have become smaller and my face always looks tired and odd. Note: i have lowered my hair line a little bit only thats why I thought it might effected forghead muscles that lifts the eyebrow likes Note: since 1.5year im experienceing a chronic insomnia, but the issue was long back the hair trnsplant so maybe its the reason
Hello, I had a 3k graft FUT. When I went in 11 days post op, the nurse noticed I had scabbing on my recipient area. She offered to wash my head, which I accepted. To my astonishment, she began to rub rigorously (w/ more pressure than anyone would normally use in a shower). When I got home I noticed slight bleeding, though it was only in 3 very small spots. She assured me grafts were secure by day 9. Could the cavalier attitude of this nurse have caused extensive graft damage?
Went to the clinic I got surgery from today, and was trying out concealer to hide the redness for an occasion. Turned out I did not like the concealer, and the patient coordinator proceeded to very vigorously rub the area with an alcohol swap, so much so it was hurting, became more red, and I had a tingling sensation for quite a while after. No skin was broken, but it definitely hurt. Can this affect my grafts and the overall outcome of the surgery? Very concerned. thanks
Hi, It has been 7 days since my HT and I have been shampooing my hair daily since the last 5 days ,as per my doctor's advice. I don't apply it directly ,I just apply the foam and gently dab my hair . However ,for some reason it seems that the shampoo sticks to my hair and I have to repeatedly pour a lot of water(for 15-20 mins) to get the shampoo out of my hair . Is there any chance that this pouring of water (through a mug) has damaged the grafts?
My right eyebrow (left in the pic) was damaged in an accident over two decades ago. Recently, I've been thinking about getting a transplant so I compared both of my eyebrows and counted the actual number of hairs missing and thought that I need around 20 hairs transplanted. But few HT doctors that I met have said that I need around 40-50, which sounds quite high too me. I'm wondering if having too many would look weird? Do you guys think 20 grafts would be enough to make my eyebrow look normal?
It has been 42 days and i m using spray water bottle to wash my hairs i have accumulated white layer over tranplanted hairs might be due to Minoxidil so I applied pressure with spray water bottle to clean scalp and after that i found my scalp was clean but shedded many hairs so it normal shedding or I damge the graft there was no sign of bleeding but after 1 month are graft secure enough pressure.
