Vastus Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Hello everyone, I am 4 days post op & was instructed to gently pour water over my newly transplanted grafts. However, the grafts started to bulge out. Has this happened to anyone else? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member BDK081522 Posted August 2, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted August 2, 2020 It looks like scabbing that just softened because of the water. I wouldn't be too concerned. 1 Bosley 11-2016 FUE - 1,407 grafts Dr. Diep 09-2017 FUE - 2,024 grafts Dr. Konior 03-2020 FUE - 2,076 grafts Dr. Konior 09-2021 FUE - 697 scalp to scalp, FUE - 716 beard to beard Total scalp FUE - 6,204 grafts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Badhairman1 Posted August 2, 2020 Regular Member Share Posted August 2, 2020 Blood is normally a sign you dislodged grafts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member pkipling Posted August 3, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted August 3, 2020 This looks completely normal and most likely the scabs being softened by the water - which is a good thing! Make sure that you follow the post-op care instructions and don't be "too precious" with the scalp in the days and weeks to come. After the first 72 hours, your grafts are mostly completely set and it would be difficult to dislodge them. A lot of times, the fear of dislodging the grafts leads guys to not being thorough enough with the washing and severe scabbing can occur - so whatever post-op instructions your doctor gave you, make sure to follow through with them as closely as possible. 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.
