Regular Member teachncoach Posted July 15, 2009 Regular Member Share Posted July 15, 2009 Hello, I just got my HT two days ago with DR. Dorin from True and Dorin and am going through the healing process. I recieved 1200 grafts mostly in the hairline and temporal area. I am not bald at all just receding and thinning. I have been reading my info booklet regarding what I have to do in the next two weeks. I read something about what to do if grafts fall out. How do I know if this occurs? What does that look like? If anyone can help I would appreciate it. THank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Glenn Charles Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 In order to lose a graft after your procedure you would most likely see bleeding from the recipient site. When this occurs it is generally in the first 24-48 hrs. If you find 1 graft on the pillow or on your forehead in the morning it should not change your result since you have 1199 others. I tell patients that if in the first 2 days, they accidentally bump their head and a few grafts come out, they should immediately put them in a glass of water and then call me. I will meet them back at the clinic and attempt to reinsert them. as long as the graft stays moist it has a chance to survive. It has only happened 2-3 times in 10 years.
