Im 4 days out with my procedure with umar. I was just wondering how do you know if you've knocked out a graft? accidentally? I lightly touched my recipient area...

and a few hair fell out, but they looked like just normal hair that had been buzzed before the procedure that are stuck in my hairs...no bleeding or anything...

just curious...

you said the magic words...if there is no blood..chances are you didn't pull out any grafts...besides at four days they are pretty stable....

Just a thought from the peanut gallery...

hairjordan

did you have fue or strip?

I am not sure I would buzz anything until well after the stitches/staples are removed and some healing has occurred (assuming strip)

best of luck to you. shampooing twice daily and a little vaseline at night does wonders for scab removal.

I opted for FUE (hairline).

Only a 1000 grafts, since it was a rather small procedure I decided to stay away from the strip scar...
