Plasma mixed with Grafts before being planted?

[LeoElm96]

Hello Community. Please can you help and advice. This is my 2nd procedure (FUE and DHI combined). My surgery was performed in turkey. Pictures indicate day 2 and day 5. At Day 2 I have had bleeding appear randomly from several areas in the planted area. I have not bumped or touched the new grafts. I have also noticed a few grafts lost as a result the bleeding. I have consulted my doctor and he seem to suggest this is perfectly normal. However, I am not convinced and lack trust and worried. How does the transplanted area look? Also my doctor has taken plasma collected from my blood before the procedure put did not inject the plasma into my transplanted area post procedure. He has suggested he has mixed the plasma with the grafts when they have been collected and before they have been implanted. Is this a technique or a thing?

Did you bleed a lot during surgery? High blood pressure could be a possible cause of the bleeding. Losing grafts is not perfectly normal 2 days post-op when you have not knocked or scratched your head.
Using your plasma to store grafts is something Dr Carlos Wesley does.
Here is what he says - Graft storage was optimized as hair follicles were incubated in autologous (his own) platelet rich plasma (PRP) throughout the duration of the procedure. This, combined with an ATP-containing storage solution has been shown to enhance survival of transplanted hairs.
Which clinic did your hair transplant?

Not sure if i am healing too well thank you for asking. Im on day 14 but very patchy the area thats been harvested. Am i wrong to believe the doctor has over harvested in certain areas leaving the back my head very patchy.

It’s too early to say if over harvested as you could be suffering from quite a bit of shock loss.
Do you have an immediate post-op picture showing the extractions?

Yes it might be. I do yes have a photo. This is my 2nd procedure.

All you can do is wait and see how it looks in a few months.
