Sharp Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 I've done a lot of research on hair transplants and graft anchorings but one thing I've never been able to find a definitive answer for, is how could someone be certain that a graft (or multiple grafts) has been lost? I understand that after a couple of days leading up to a week, it gets harder and harder to accidentally dislodge a graft. However it is still possible. Losing a hair is normal, losing a scab is normal. Losing a hair attached to a scab or crust is also normal. But what isn't normal? I'm asking this question simply because I'm curious and unaware.

Senior Member Britanium Posted June 14, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted June 14, 2020 Losing a graft or grafts usually you will see a lot of blood loss. Like a trickle or stream from the area affected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member aaron1234 Posted June 15, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted June 15, 2020 Yup, it'll be obvious. I accidentally pulled a graft out once while trying to clean off some scabs, about 6 days post-op, and it bled down my scalp. It was a 3 hair graft, sad day.
