Could facial expressions dislodge hair grafts for people with low hairlines?

[Transhair]

I was looking at myself in the mirror and noticed that when I raise my eyebrows in a high exaggerate surprised look, it actually affects and moves my hair maybe 2 cm into my hairline.

Made me curious as to if this can dislodge grafts for the people who get low transplants, as it's moving the skin that they're embedded in.

No it will not. People get beard transplants and don't lose them. If you don't bleed, you didn't lose a graft to dislodgement.

I really doubt that would be possible. If it did happen I would have to say the hairline was placed way to low. Lol

I read somewhere on here that your hairline should start after the part of your forehead that wrinkles when you raise your eyebrows, so as long as your surgeon does that you should be good.

Interesting question,

 

I wonder if it is more likely for repair patients who have cobblestoning or sensitive scar tissue. If raising the eyebrows can cut off the cycle for some grafts or by wearing a cap afterwards? This in the situation where heavy recipient scarring exists.

 

I dont think it is possible if a hair transplant is done right though.

It seems highly unlikely. You've got to take care of your grafts post-op, but facial expressions that move your forehead skin aren't going to put stress on them. If anything, you'll get increased blood flow to the area, which is good.
