Regular Member spazy Posted May 12, 2021 Regular Member Share Posted May 12, 2021 (edited) For example these are two pictures immediately post op. What is the difference if there is a white bulb or not? Does one yield better results? Edited May 12, 2021 by spazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Westview Posted May 13, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted May 13, 2021 I think that white stuff is the antibiotic they use, but I could be wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member 1978matt Posted May 13, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted May 13, 2021 Implanter pens usually leave the very top of the graft exposed. Over time it just drops off. Grafts can be pushed down further, but too far can result in problems. 4,312 FUT grafts (7,676 hairs) with Ray Konior, MD - August 2013 1,145 FUE grafts (3,152 hairs) with Ray Konior, MD - August 2018 763 FUE grafts (2,094 hairs) with Ray Konior, MD - January 2020 Proscar 1.25mg every 3rd day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Kharmacoma Posted May 14, 2021 Regular Member Share Posted May 14, 2021 I think its water as well. The first few days after my transplant when getting out of the shower they would appear on my head for an hour or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raphael84 Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 The white “bulbs” that you can see is epithelium. Epithelial tissue is a thin protective layer that lines the outer surface of organs and blood vessels throughout the body. It takes on the white tone when absorbing the saline solution that is sprayed during surgery. After surgery it will dry and naturally fall. If this part of the graft is pushed deeper and placed inside of the site, this may result with a “cobblestoning” effect and “pitting” of skin. Some grafts may have this tissue trimmed before placing, but it is a balance and should be done with extreme precision as damaging or harming the follicle in any way may effect the stem cells responsible for growth which may result in a finer and less structured hair. 3 Patient Advisor for Dr. Bisanga - BHR Clinic ian@bhrclinic.com - BHR YouTube Channel - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcH4PY1OxoYFwSDKzAkZRww I am not a medical professional and my words should not be taken as medical advice.
