Regular Member Ricardo27 Posted December 1, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted December 1, 2022 Hello Community, on the 16 day after my hairline transplant unfortunately I hit my head against a Shelf just on the Recipient area. There was some blood and this made me panic. I contacted my surgeon, and he said I should be fine on 16 day it’s the same as if I would hit my head normally without having transplant done. I had a small skin rupture, which for I was adviced to go to the next ambulance for cleaning and disinfecting. The doctor applied a little bit wound glue on the 1 cm spot, and said not to worry. I know my surgeon said already it should not be a huge problem but I’m still really worried, so I decided to ask if anyone who is experienced with this topic, can tell by the pictures ( first just after hitting my head/ second after doctor cleaned it ) if it will affect the final result, and maybe hairs/density will be lost ? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valued Contributor Gatsby Posted December 1, 2022 Valued Contributor Share Posted December 1, 2022 You may have had a good bang on the head but don't worry. You are more than two weeks post op and this would not have damaged the grafts anymore than your native grafts. You're fine but I understand the concern.

Senior Member pkipling Posted December 1, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted December 1, 2022 Oh no! That sounds awful and I definitely understand the panic. I think doing this very thing after a HT is one of the biggest anxieties for us post-op. Echoing the others (and your doctor) and letting you know that the grafts are extremely secure and you didn't damage them. By two weeks post-op at the latest, those grafts are locked in... So you're good! 1 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.
