stasfire Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 HI, I've noticed that a lot of the scabs on my head do not have hair popping out of them? Does this mean that those grafts popped out? PIC : 2014-05-11_1807 - Stas27's library Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So its possible that the new hairs are just under the scabs? I did bleed during the night and i think that bleeding was from the donor area and not the recipient area. btw thanks for the reply. I have a feeling its going to be nerve wrecking experience. I've been looking at my recipient area bunch of times per day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Blake Bloxham Posted May 12, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted May 12, 2014 Stas, It is probably just difficult to see the hairs because of the scabs. Unless you saw obvious bleeding from a specific site, it is very unlikely that you lost a graft. Good luck!

Thanks Future_HT_Doc, the first two nights I noticed that I bled on the pillow case but am not sure if it was from donor or recipient area. Once the scabs fall off I should be able to see all the transplanted hairs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Spanker Posted May 12, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted May 12, 2014 No, you may have some fall with the scabs but the follicle should be alive even though unseen.

So I guess the only way to tell is to wait 4-12 months. Thanks again for the reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
