Help, how secure are hair graphs in the scalp after 24hrs???

[Pinkie]

Hello, new around here, and I had surgery last week (in the UK, Farjo Clinic).

 

I am a little concerned, as approx 28 hrs or so after my surgery, I went to an open air concert, I wore my cap - but it rained hard and also people had inflatable microphones, and guitars etc...and I did get whacked over the head with these a few times (would Im sure it would have been funny if I hadnt just the day before had surgery!!!).

 

Anyway, I just want to know how worried I should be about any damage it could have caused - there was no additional blood, I think, after I checked later (apart from the blood that had already been there from op). Even if the graphs hadnt fallen out, can they still have been damaged from this?!

 

Thanks to anyone who reponses :-)

Pinkie,

I wouldn't be worried about rain. You could have done without the whacks on your head but with inflatable guitars i think you'll be fine. Try to lay low until day 10 when the grafts should be set for good!

Good luck and grow well!

Thanks for the reassurance!

You should be more careful.

Pinkie,

 

Welcome to our hair restoration forum and congratulations on your recent hair transplant with Dr. Farjo. I hope you will create a hair loss weblog to document your journey with pictures.

 

The number one rule after a hair transplant is "don't bump your head". But it appears that most people (including me) have bumped their head at least once after surgery during the critical time (first 10 days).

 

Like I was, you are probably fine, assuming you didn't lose some grafts (you probably would have been bleeding if so).

 

Over the next 10 days, be careful and follow all your surgeon's postoperative instructions.

 

Best wishes and happy growing!

 

Best wishes,

 

Bill

Thank you for your replies....I agree I should have been more careful. However, I think thankfully, I haven't lost any grafts because as stated in the post above I would have had some bleeding. So hopefully *fingers crossed* all will be well and I'll just have to play the waiting game now till my new hair comes through!

How many grafts did you have was it strip/FUE?
