I recently had 1500 FUE (temple and hairline) done at a reputable clinic in North America.
The FUE extraction was done by a tech (Who has worked for the surgeon/ clinic since the early 1990s). During the extraction, the surgeon checked in periodically and made mention to ensure my graft were better soaked in the medium while they awaited the second tech to view them under the microscope and prepare for insertion. I was face down on the table and had taken an ativan prior to procedure, so I don't know exact timings.
Am I being paranoid or could grafts have died prior to even implantation because of this? (i.e not "soaked" properly, or awaiting the second tech- who was in and out of the room?) This clinic has a great reputation on here and I paid good money. I have attached me post day 7, no shedding or loss; I saw the surgeon post day 1,2,3 and he said everything looks good. Will there be no way to know until the 12 month mark?
