Regular Member Joe Transplant Posted October 30, 2003 Regular Member Share Posted October 30, 2003 Texas Usually after 8 days the grafts are pretty set. Try to be careful, but don't sweat it too much - a few days after my surgery, I slammed my head against the wall (accidentally of course) and things still turned out OK. The only time I lost a graft was by picking a scab with the graft still attached to it. Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 Ouch! I slammed my head the day of surgery and 5 popped out! My head bled like heck too. I was brushing my teeth and slammed it on the vanity. Dr Charles said to come over his house right away and he re-placed them! You are safe after about 7-10 days.
