Q: Five days after my hair transplant I shampooed, rubbing the transplanted area vigorously using my finger tips and all the scabs fell off. Is it possible I have dislodged some of the grafts even though they didn’t bleed? If there was no bleeding, is it enough to assume all the new transplanted follicles stayed in place? — N.D., Redding, C.T.
A: At five days after a hair transplant the grafts are pretty secure, but still can be dislodged.
However, if there was no bleeding, it is unlikely that you lost any grafts.
