Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted August 2, 2019 Administrators Share Posted August 2, 2019 I see a lot of guys on the forum asking about losing grafts. They think that shedding grafts is the same as losing grafts. I wanted to give you guys a little article here that explains the difference.

Highly unlikely, you would have to really hit the grafts hard to damage them past 4 days. The only way I see a graft becoming dislodged at 6 days is if the graft is attached to scabs and they become dislodged. I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network.

Thanks, but what I’m asking is if grafts can still be damaged even if they are not dislodged? Like if they are rubbed or tugged at can their newly formed blood supply be damaged? Anything that could compromise yield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
