Regular Member deane95 Posted March 15, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted March 15, 2023 Hi guys! I'm nine days post op and have been more than happy with how my recovery has gone so far. However, yesterday I noticed these gaps in the transplanted area of the new hairline and begun to get a bit worried. I started washing with a very delicate massaging movement with my fingers yesterday and believe some scabs may have fallen off. I am hoping these empty gaps are just where the grafts have fallen off along with scabs but wanted to get other opinions on whether I should be worried or not. Thanks!

Rahal Hair Transplant Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 @deane95, I understand your concern but at 9 days postop, the transplanted hair is pretty much fully secured and the only thing you’re seeing would be the scab and the hair shaft but not the actual follicle or the bulb. Those are secured for underneath the surface of the scalp and would require surgery to be removed. I hope this helps.
