Khadz Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 Hello, I am 2 weeks past my FUE transplant and was carefully picking away some few crusts that remain as per doctors orders. However for one of the scabs, I noticed that a slight redness/bleeding has occurred. Does this mean that the hair has been dislodged, and if yes, will this significantly impact the result of the hair transplant? note: the redness/bleeding was only limited to that area and there is no visible pain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member gillenator Posted December 12, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted December 12, 2022 It looks like a scab was removed, not any grafts.

Rahal Hair Transplant Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 Khadz, Two weeks out from your hair transplant, it would be essentially impossible to dislodge a graft without surgery. I agree with the others who said that what you are seeing is likely a scab with a hair in it. Rest assured, the follicles should be firmly rooted underneath the surface of the scalp.

Senior Member pkipling Posted December 16, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted December 16, 2022 At two weeks post-op, your grafts are anchored and secure. And for what it's worth, even if it was a graft that was dislodged, the visual impact of losing 1-4 hairs wouldn't be noticeable in the slightest. I'm not sure the method you're using to remove the scabs, but what Dr. Mohebi recommends is making warm suds with your shampoo and letting them soak on your scalp for 5-10 minutes to allow them to soften up... Then use a gentle sponge of some sort to slowly massage them away from the skin. FYI in case that's a tip that is useful for you! I am a patient advocate for Dr. Parsa Mohebi in Los Angeles, CA.
