Regular Member tysonjames123 Posted September 5, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted September 5, 2015 Hey guys. I'm 9 days post-op now from my 1500 graft FUE transplant. This morning when I woke up I found a few little things lik this on my pillow. One had a tiny little hair attached to it. Did I do something wrong? Am I losing grafts? Or is this just dead skin? I know a shedding period eventually occurs, but this soon?? Today I have to spend some time outside in the sun. I'll be wearing a hat. My doctor said it is ok as long as I do. But now I'm nervous wearing the hat all day is going to cause problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Squatch Posted September 5, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted September 5, 2015 You did not lose a graft at this point! Shedding generally starts soon. Everyone has a different timeline.

Regular Member tysonjames123 Posted September 5, 2015 Author Regular Member Share Posted September 5, 2015 (edited) Thanks man. I think I'm overly cautious and paranoid. I'm checking my head multiple times a day in a mirror. I have two more questions that I would like to be answered. 1) I still have scabs on my head. Is that normal? And it looks like some of them are getting a little crusty/white. Should I be concerned? 2) How easy it for grafts to fall out or get damaged? And how would I know if they do? I'm asking because I'm with friends, and earlier today one of my buddies patted me on the head a few times, forgetting that I had surgery. Is it possible he ruined my doctor's work?? Again, this is day 9 post op for me. Edited September 5, 2015 by tysonjames123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Squatch Posted September 5, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted September 5, 2015 Of course your paranoid..... Everyone is. Your grafts will not get knocked/fall out at 9 days. If one was pulled out it would have fresh blood with it. You should be working at removing the scabs at this juncture. Soak it in warm water to loosen them. They can be massaged also. Mineral oil will help make them come lose. Some will be with shed hair some wont.

Senior Member Spidey Posted September 5, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted September 5, 2015 At 9 days, you should not have much crusts/scabbing.. If you do, you should start getting rid of them in the shower.. Follow your Drs recommendation on how to remove the crusts. At 9 days, your grafts are secured.
