Hi,
I'm 29 years old. I just had a hair transplant last week. It is 7 days now and I've still not lost a scab but what worries me most is that, I'm seeing noticeable hair length growth (well just 2-3 mm with almost 80%-90% of transplanted hair) of transplanted grafts. Since everybody is agreed that the transplanted hairs don't grow immediately and take 2-3 months, so then are these hairs dislodging? I mean are the scabs pulling them out?
I've not experienced any kind of bleeding or infection after the surgery. Scabs started forming next morning after the operation. I had a mild swelling of forehead for 2 days but is gone now.
My doctor says that it is nothing to worry about. But decided to ask if someone here had similar experience?
Thanks all for the reply. Its day 9 today and the scabs are starting to fall (very little have fallen but at last they started to fall). I can still see hairs in places where scabs have fallen out. One thing is sure I've not lost any hair as I was afraid they were going to come out - follicle and all and ruin everything! @RCWest : Thanks!! If the new hair never shed than that'd be great But after reading other posts I'd still wait and see if the growth continues after 4-5 weeks. Cheers!
