Regular Member almostthere Posted August 25, 2012 Regular Member Share Posted August 25, 2012 Hi all, I have a couple questinos regarding my transplant. i was curious as to know whther or not you dislodged a graft or not. would you notice anything different? would it be obvious or not? I am on day 9 and on day 7 I noticed that gentle brushing on the scabbed areas with my finger tips some of the scabs were comign off. I did not force them off but the ones that were loose I gently removed (as instructed by my surgeon) I trusted his advice. Does this seem normal of a HT? Thank you.

Senior Member Icecreamman Posted August 25, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted August 25, 2012 I have been told that if there's blood, than you may have dislodged a graft. Otherwise I think your in the clear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member aramis69 Posted August 27, 2012 Regular Member Share Posted August 27, 2012 I had a lot of scabs come off with hair in them. Nothing to worry about if there is no blood. I do know what a dislodged graft looks like as I lost two on day 14 and day 15. The dislodged graft has a bulbous fleshy white end, you bleed profusely and it really feels like you have been stung by a bee in that area.

Dr. Glenn Charles Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 It is almost impossible to lose a graft without having some immediate bleeding from the recipeint site. At this point post op you could actually pull out the little hair and not remove the follicle/root. Not recommending that, but no need to worry any more.
