pressure on the graphs

[jw34]

i had a small number of graphs put in the back of my head, and the third night i woke up somehow sleeping on the back on my head. how much pressure can the recipient area take without damaging the graphs?

As long as you saw no bloody discharge from that area (indicating possible dislodgement of the grafts) you should be OK.

As long as their isnt any dislodging as Dr Carmen mentioned, you will be fine. As a precaution I would sleep in a recliner the first few nights. After a week, your grafts are pretty much set in place.

If you have to sleep on them, get a nice feather pillow or better yet the neck pillow you see on planes to keep pressure off back of the neck (I used this on my last HT when I was sleeping upright to avoid swelling)
