Hair321 Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 (edited) I was playing soccer last night. Someone kicked the ball and it hit my head, in the recipient area. I'd say it was a medium power shot. I'm freaking out. Was there any damage done to the grafts? This happened exactly 43 days post op. I had FUE done. Thanks guys Edited April 18, 2014 by Hair321 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member hsrp10 Posted April 18, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted April 18, 2014 at a month and half after surgery I think you should be ok, grafts should be secured any bleeding btw? go dense or go home Unbiased advice and opinions based on 25 plus years of researching and actual experience with hair loss, hair restoration via both FUT & FUE, SMP, scalp issues including scalp eczema & seborrheic dermatitis and many others HSRP10's favorite FUT surgeons: *Dr. Konior, *Dr Hasson, Dr. Rahal HSRP10's favorite FUE surgeons: *Dr. Konior, *Dr. Bisanga, Dr. Erdogan, Dr. Couto (*indicates actual experience with doctor) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member spartan13 Posted April 18, 2014 Regular Member Share Posted April 18, 2014 Hair321, this is directly from my transplant surgeon's office post-op instruction packet: "After five days your grafts have thoroughly adhered" I even asked again when I was in for my procedure this past January and they told me that once the recipient area heals all up, the grafts would have to be surgically removed to fall out. So in short, I think your grafts are going to be fine this far out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hair321 Posted April 20, 2014 Author Share Posted April 20, 2014 Thanks for the replies! I'm 100% sure that I didn't dislodge any grafts out, as there was no bleeding or bruising. I guess my only concern is whether or not the grafts can be damaged due to the impact alone. Is there such a thing, especially at 43 days post op?

Senior Member Blake Bloxham Posted April 21, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted April 21, 2014 Hair, At 43 days post-op, there isn't really anything you can do to damage the grafts. The impact or the subsequent bruising alone couldn't actually affect the hair follicles, and everything is firmly implanted after the first 7 to 10 days. Altogether, I think you're okay!
