Accidentally Pulled Graft Out - Worried


Recommended Posts

This is regarding a hairline graft that was implanted over 1 yr ago. 

I was trimming my bangs with scissors myself, and short story I accidentally yanked an entire hairline graft out from the root.

Will this graft grow back in totally fine? 

I know if someone yanks out native/non-surgically altered hairs they should regrow just fine, but I am wondering if transplant grafts may be weaker and might be more affected by pulling them out? Or perhaps not?

I went to the trichotillomania forum on Reddit to research more on pulling hair out and apparently you can PERMANENTLY lose hair if you pull or pluck it enough times.

But i am wondering 1) is accidentally yanking a hair out 1 time enough to have killed it and 2) are transplant grafts in anyway weaker or more likely to face permanent damage if they are pulled out

 

Its such massive endeavor to have surgery, and a miracle in itself for grafts to grow in the first place - so its just a very jarring and nerve wracking feeling to have yanked one of these grafts out
