Fallen grafts?

I believe I am in the post hair transplant stage where I am worried about a lot of things. Anyways, about 1 week after my procedure I started noticing loss of what seems to be transplanted grafts. I am now just past the 1.5 month post op mark and I'm a little concerned because throughout this month I have noticed this until now. I know that the transplanted hairs will fall out but I believe what I am losing is more than just the hair; it seems the whole graft is falling out in many instances. I am afraid because my doctor made incisions in the donor area the day BEFORE my transplant claiming that this is a "new technique" they are trying in order to save time the day of the transplant. He went back and opened the incisions the day of the transplant with a needle. Could this have affected the binding of the transplanted grafts?

I have attached a picture of what I'm referring to as fallen grafts (sorry if it's not very clear).

So my questions are:

1) Are these fallen grafts?

2) If so, is this the fault of my doctor doing the incisions the day before?

 

Just as a side note:

I did not experience any bleeding when these hairs fell out which I heard is a good sign. Also, the little piece of flesh connecting the multiple hairs is translucent (not as dark as it seems in the picture)

I noticed a couple of these too, a few days after my operation. I just assumed I'd lost a few grafts, although there was no bleeding. When the rest of the transplanted hairs shed, they just looked like normal hairs.
