Did I lose any grafts? Or am I overthinking

[justbelieves]

First photo is the first wash at Day 3, 2nd photo is after 2nd wash on day 4. There was no blood on my pillow, and I gently applied the lotion with my fingertips using a glove. I used a cup to rinse off the moisturizer and shampoo I was provided by the doctor. I have not seen any blood at all.

 

 

I’m on day 5 now and a little worried. 
 

thank you guys

Just believes,

At day 4 post-op it’s true that the grafts are still fragile as the follicles underneath the surface of the scalp have not yet truly taken root.  That said, they are secure enough that losing a graft wouldn’t be as easy as simply pulling one out or bumping your head lightly.  If you did lose a graft you would have experienced pain and seen some blood. The fact that you haven’t is a good sign that your transplanted hair follicles are just fine even if you see a hair with a scab attached to it on the countertop, pillow, etc.  

just be careful when you wash your hair and be careful not to be too aggressive when working off the scabs.

I hope this helps.

Thank you I just finished watching. I’m glad to hear it’s normal and not a loss of grafts. At what point did you start washing your hair with light rinse, moisturizer and shampoo?

 

I’m currently on day 5

Thank you, this helped out a lot. I feel more at ease.

Those crater like ravines are just skin being stretched due to the scabs.  Almost all of us had them.  It is normal.  You didn’t lose any grafts.
