Zyad Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 I have had my HT 6 days ago and while washing my head gently on the 6th day as recommended by the doctor, that one fell. There was no redness or swelling or bleeding. I understand that the scabs may fall attached to the hair, but this one looks weird. I have attached two types of hairs that i managed to capture. The one that does look weird to me is the one with two black bulbs attached to it and i am not sure if what surrounds it is dried fat or scab/crust, and another one with what seems to be a scab around it. Please advise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member BackFromTheBrink Posted October 30, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted October 30, 2023 Just a hair and a scab. Nothing to worry about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people are saying this is a graft that did not take. But i am confused as to how it could simply stay there for 6 days without falling. Could you please advise?

Regular Member BackFromTheBrink Posted October 30, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted October 30, 2023 Not all grafts will survive. However, they're not usually dislodged. When that happens 99 percent of the time you'll bleed from the incision. Try not to worry about it. I'd say that it's most likely to be just hair and scab tissue ground around the incision. Worst case, it's one graft and it'll make absolutely no difference to your outcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zyad Posted October 31, 2023 Author Share Posted October 31, 2023 I agree that not all grafts will survive. I was okay till all of the grafts fell so far have the same bulb structure and that layer surrounding them. I hope it is just sebum and it’s a shed graft. I was hoping to find a decisive difference between a shed graft with sebum/crust/scabs and a destroyed graft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
