Senior Member nervousguy Posted August 18, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted August 18, 2014 I'm 2 weeks post op and most of the scabs on my recipient areas are really loose and ready to fall out. I lightly brushed over these areas with my fingers and most of the scabs fell out immediately. Some others were not too loose, yet but I was able to get them to fall out as well. While I was doing this, I noticed that a group of about 4 or 5 hairs fell out of my head. They were all attached to one big scab and I noticed that the roots or bulbs of these hairs came out too? Since there was no bleeding, that means that the follicles are still there right? I'm not an expert on hair...so is the clear part on the end of each hair just the root or bulb of the hair shaft not the follicle yes? I will go see Dr. Meshkin tomorrow and I'm sure he will be cleaning out all the remaining scabs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Sparky Posted August 18, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted August 18, 2014 You didn't lose any grafts, especially at 2 weeks post op, nothing to worry about.

Senior Member nervousguy Posted August 19, 2014 Author Senior Member Share Posted August 19, 2014 Yeah, just today I went to see Dr. Meshkin for my 2 week post op. He actually ran a metal comb through my scalp to knock out all the scabs. That was when he told me that I don't need to baby the hair anymore and that the follicles are secured now. He even told me that I can wear hats and beanies to cover it up while I'm at work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
