Grafts falling when washing hair after transplant

[Tsvetanov]

Hello,
I'm sorry for my English, I'm not a native speaker.

Yesterday was the 11-th day after my surgery and I was advised to apply gentle massage of the transplanted areas when washing the hair with the shampoo in order to remove the scabs. But during the whole process I counted about 10 grafts on my hand mixed with the shampoo. There was no bleeding. Is this normal?

I think I still have sufficient amount of hair in the transplanted areas, but I'm worried that some of the grafts fall when I'm doing this massage.

Thank you!

Do not worry; it is totally normal. If there was no bleeding you did not loose the hair-root so it is still there. You are on the 11th day, so the root is embedded in your scalp. Happy growing.

Thank you, sir.

All part of the post-op shedding stage. No need to worry.
