Bandaging the scalp immediately post-op

Hi,

I’ve seen doctors do this, but isn’t there an increased risk that the next day upon removing the bandages, the grafts are dislodged, especially if there has been bleeding overnight and the blood has dried and scabbed against the bandage?

I have only ever seen the donor area bandaged, never the recipient?
