Regular Member Reijo Posted March 31, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted March 31, 2022 Hi guys. This is a picture of my transplanted area 5 days post-op. The clinic told me to start washing it with baby shampoo and water from yesterday but still no touching. You can see that all the grafts has a blood clot tied to it and I'm scared that once these blood clots got cleaned on Day 10 when I get back to the clinic, the grafts will also be gone. Does anybody had the same experience? I'm getting depressed now since I saw in some videos that grafts that has blood clot on it won't likely to survive. Please, if anyone had the same experience or knows how to deal with it(if it's not yet too late), let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devnull Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Sorry, I don't get the problem, blood clots appear, but shouldnt be an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Britanium Posted March 31, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted March 31, 2022 The grafts are very secure at day 3-4, scabbing is normal, nothing to worry about. 🙏 Where did you get the transplant done? Just wondering how many grafts etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I washed my face earlier today and when I raised my head, a dried blood clot fell off with a hair on it. When I checked whare was it from, it's from the first line of my hairline. I got a bit scared that when they wash my head on the 10th day, all of these dried blood clots will also take away the implanted grafts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering how many grafts etc? I got it here in Dubai. The name of the clinic is Seven-D Medical Center. I think it's about 2500 grafts or so. So based on how it looks right now on its 5th day, everything is normal, right? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devnull Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 (edited) You should speak with your doctor, he should inform you about this is normal. Actually you don't loose the actual hair papilla, just hair with some tissue. Total normal. Edited March 31, 2022 by devnull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No they won’t, they are firmly anchored from day 3ish, after this point they would need to be surgically removed. A lost graft happens very early on, and is very noticeable as it will be accompanied by a stream/long trickle of blood and pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes 👍🏽 normal looking, just carry on following the clinics after care instructions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Britanium Posted March 31, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted March 31, 2022 Im unfamiliar with the clinic, was it a tech based procedure or did the Dr do the incisions? Really they should have given a exact graft count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, safe to say that all these transplanted grafts are already in place, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only the technicians/nurses I'm able to reach that's why some of my concerns are really bothering me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really they should have given a exact graft count. The Dr did the incisions. They just rounded off the amount but one of the technicians who's separating my grafts when extracted said it's somewhere between 2580ish. Yes I'm still doing the after care procedures, I'm just being carried away by the videos I'm seeing in youtube since some of them looks far from what I'm currently in. But thank you so much for responding. This is really reassuring 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I’m wrong I will eat my non existent hat 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
