Hello,

Just signed up and had a question if that's ok?


I had an fue transplant with a good clinic about 2.5 weeks ago, at 2 weeks post op I bumped my head on my left temple, not very hard, I wouldn't of even paid attention to it if I hadn't undergone an HT 14 days prior, anyway no blood or visible damage to the skin occured although it may of been slightly pink (it was pink anyway because of the op) It may of swelled slightly, but I can't be 100% sure as it felt similar to the other side.
Could this of caused any damage to the new grafts at all? My patient advisor says its unlikely, but I wanted an opinion from somebody else like yourself.


Although there wasn't any bleeding or even a scratch, could this damage what the grafts are doing under the skin?

Many thanks

Matty

i don't think you have anything to worry about. if you had lost a graft, there would have been some bleeding. it's impossible to loose a graft after 10 days. Typically, the grafts are well seated after the 6th day. In other words, other than the bump on your head, the grafts are fine. They are just going to take a bit of time to resume growth.
