Hello everyone,
I'm new to this community and this is my first ever post. I recently had a hair transplant (14 days ago), receiving approx. 3500 grafts across my hairline and mid-scalp. It's been 14 days since the procedure.
I've meticulously adhered to the post-op care instructions, yet I encountered an issue today that led me to seek advice from this knowledgeable forum.
Up until now, all the scabs had fallen off naturally except for one that was lingering near the left-hand side of my hairline. While gently cleaning that area today, the final scab detached, and unexpectedly, a few hairs were attached to it, along with a small trace of blood.
I understand that hair shedding is to be expected, but the presence of blood has raised concerns about potential graft loss. I should mention that during the surgery, this particular area bled more than others, prompting the clinic to prescribe a special cream for me to apply for a few days post-op. This morning's incident occurred while I was following their recommended gentle washing and massaging technique, similar to what was advised on day 10 post op for removing scabs with finger tips.
Has anyone here experienced something similar, I can't help but think a graft or two have filled out.
Thank you in advance on any guidance or feedback you may have.
