Regular Member Yan bio Posted June 28, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted June 28, 2022 I’m afraid it’s necrosis or simply graft wasn’t planted deep enough and fall out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m spraying it every 1 hour, and shampooing it 2 times a day Try to let it soak with conditioner to see if the scabs come off gently. 1 I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network.

Rahal Hair Transplant Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Yan Bio, personally, I wouldn’t be concerned at this stage. The black or dark red color you were seeing is very likely just dried blood. Dried blood typically looks darker in color. In my opinion just follow your doctors postoperative instructions to remove any remaining scabs. best wishes, Bill Rahal Hair Transplant Institute - Answers to questions, posts or any comments from this account should not be taken or construed as medical advice.

Senior Member Fue3361 Posted June 30, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted June 30, 2022 Looks like normal scabs to me. Skin around the scabs is pink and healthy. Check out my journey here: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Vann Posted June 30, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted June 30, 2022 That looks like your scabs dried out and your residual skin is making it look worse. Once your grafts are in they take hold and the skin sheds off. Sometimes the blood can be mixed in with the skin and it holds onto the root making it look worse than it already is. 1 Follow my first hair transplant journey 3,252 Grafts a minimum of 6,712 hairs June 2022 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Yan bio Posted May 22, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted May 22, 2023 for future readers: it did turn out to be a necrosis, no hair sprouted there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rahal Hair Transplant Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 (edited) @Yan bio, It doesn’t look like necrosis but it does look like you’re scabbing up a lot. Did your doctor provide you with any postoperative instructions on how to gently remove the scabs? If so are you following those guidelines? Because usually most people at 7 to 10 days don’t have any scabs left although it’s still possible obviously. In my opinion, make sure you are following your doctors postoperative instructions for scab removal and everything should be fine. I wouldn’t expect it to turn into necrosis or anything but keep your eye on it. best wishes, Rahal Hair Transplant Edited May 22, 2023 by Rahal Hair Transplant Rahal Hair Transplant Institute - Answers to questions, posts or any comments from this account should not be taken or construed as medical advice.

Either incompetence of clinic placing grafts too close suffocating blood supply, unsanitary surgical conditions/equipment or patient error introducing germs and infecting his scalp. The last one can only happen if it’s immediately after surgery because the body closes wounds really fast so clinic rather than patient error is more likely. It’s so rare though, I have only read horror stories from India/Pakistan where uneducated technicians operate in dirty conditions causing serious infections and deaths. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It goes to show that sometimes perfectionism comes with a cost and most of the times it's the patient who pays it. It really sucks to be at the end of the blade when it comes to a HT. I know every clinic is different but there is no denying that you are taking a risk by the moment you book your surgery no matter who you chose.
