Bumped my head 5 days post-op FUE can this lead to follicle dead? (photo)

Hi this is Alex from Spain . I bumped my head quite hard, I am just 5 days post surgery. I got 300 grafts transplanted (touch up). No blood so I know I haven't dislodged any grafts. There isn't any visible trauma/swelling.

At this stage, just 5 days post-op, can this incident lead to follicle dead? I presume grafts are still very vulnerable so could impact like this (hit, bump) kill grafts, even without blood? Like, you can break a bone without damaging the skin...

I contacted the clinic, I spoke to an assistant, but didn't sound as she had knowledge about it.

Can´t see anything odd in your picture. Did you bump in the same area as the grafts? You should discuss with the Dr who did your FUE. Can you go to the clinic for a check?

There does not seem to be any obvious damage. You would have seen if any grafts were dislodged with them being in your hairline. No blood or swelling is another positive.
IMO I’d say you’re probably ok.
Who did you have your surgery with?

It does not look as though any grafts have been dislodged… I bumped my head after one of my transplants, probably about the 5th or 6th day and I asked Dr Ron Shapiro who did the surgery If I should be concerned... He said, if no bleeding or swelling, the grafts should be ok because they are quite secure at day 5... What clinic did your hair transplant?
