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.

Can grafts still be damaged even if there is no blood say at 6 days post op by vigorous rubbing of the skin when wet in the shower?

yes and no, its complicated and will take science some deeper research and years before we get some concrete answers

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.

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
