Yaniv054 Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 Hey guys, at 8 days after the surgery i though thats the 10th day and at the shower i removed my scabs with my hand under the shower. i didn't dislodged the grafts or anything but im a little worried that i damaged my grafts. What do you think? any practical opinions? My head looks ok (the doctor said but he is far away and wouldnt be able to answer my other questions), even good... May the graft be damaged even though the head looks ok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member paddyirishman Posted November 29, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted November 29, 2019 @Yaniv054 aftet 8 days your grafts are well and truly anchored so you wouldn't have done any damage. You done the right thing by running the scabs off at that stage also. So all is good and very happy growing. All the best .........Paddy.....

Yaniv054 Posted November 30, 2019 Author Share Posted November 30, 2019 So why are they always want us to wash them off only at the 10th day (which is the 11 after surgery)? Thanks Paddy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member pkipling Posted December 1, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted December 1, 2019 Every surgeon is going to have different rules and protocols for how to handle the grafts after your HT. As Paddy mentioned though, at Day 8, your grafts are completely secure and it would take blunt force to dislodge them in any way. In fact, it's a happy accident that you removed the scabs when you did, as you want to promote healing as fast as possible - and leaving dry, crusty scabs on your scalp for an extended period of time isn't ideal. I am a patient advocate for Dr. Parsa Mohebi in Los Angeles, CA. My views/opinions are my own and don't necessarily reflect the opinions of Dr. Mohebi and his staff. Check out my hair loss website for photos FUE surgery by Dr. Mohebi on 7/31/14 2,001 grafts - Ones: 607; Twos: 925; Threes: 413; Fours: 56 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
