Found hair graft 14 hours after FUE transplant

[Brodyy2k1]

Hi all

I had a transplant yesterday and when looking in the mirror this morning I saw a hair graft above my eyebrow. It was black at the end (the bulb). Is it normal to lose one or two along the way?

Not necessarily, but typically if this was an actual graft that fell out, there would be bleeding and you would feel it when it happened. Without pictures, it's hard to even know if this was an actual graft. Regardless, assuming you had at least 1,000 grafts, even if this was a graft that fell out before it was properly anchored, it wont' make any cosmetic difference at all. (If this continues, then contact your doctor.)

Just be careful over the next week to not dislodge any grafts, follow your post-care instructions very carefully, and I'm sure you'll be fine.
