Graft out of body time


Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

 

I'm about 3.5 months post op, not a whole lot of growth to be quite honest. I visited my doc at the 3 month mark for a follow up and he was coming finishing up a 3000 graft session around 11:30 am, whereas mine was 3080 grafts but took 5 more hours. He said the reason for this related to the tissue of my grafts, and that they were "slippery" meaning that surrounding grafts would pop out when one was put in making the whole process a lot longer. Naturally, my grafts were out of body longer than say the person who finished at 11:30 am and I was wondering if 10 hours is a normal amount of time for them to be out of body or if that could compromise results? I've searched online and some docs say that slippery grafts is not a real thing and that it is a reflection of the holding solution or skill of implanters, but i'm not too sure that is the case. Please let me know your thoughts on how long grafts can survive outside the body because i am seeing negligible growth at the moment

thanks
