Regular Member 21yrold Posted October 18, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted October 18, 2023 Hi, I haven’t been able to find any direct discussion of this in particular would love to get some insight on this. Would you damage the whole graft if you chose to pluck two follicles from a triple graft in order to make it a single follicle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted October 18, 2023 Administrators Share Posted October 18, 2023 Unequivocally, YES. If you plucked out a graft while its not anchored, it would be lost. Even if you managed to reinsert it deep enough (you wouldn’t). But if you did, the damage caused by splitting it would most likely kill the graft anyway. I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network.

What I meant was beyond healing and into the growth phase should you have say as an example a triple growing in your hair line. Would plucking two hairs out of the triple leaving it as a single hair damage that last hair left of that triple?

I’d try it on some area of your body that isn’t your head (i have a patch of hair on my hand with multiple triples in it) and see what happens. I’d expect the remaining hairs to continue to grow and the plucked hair to quickly regrow, but I’m not a doctor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
