    Default Bumped my head 10 days after FUE

    I accidentally bumped my head after 10 days while washing my face. The bump is against an edge of a cabinet drawer, from back to front rubbing fashion as I pulled my head up. This was a few minutes after I washed my hair.

    No bleeding, no graft were dislodged. I did noticed a bunch of stuff on the edge of the drawer. I was nervous at first but realized the stuff were all the scab and residue from the antibiotics ointment that still hasn't came off. My hair was just washed so the residue were all soft wet stuff. I did see one hair but it looked like my eye lash (no root or anything from it) that may have been on my hand from face washing....I can't tell. I currently feel no pain or any irritation from the head impact.

    Attached are some pictures.

    Please let me know if there are any concerns I should have at this point. Pretty bumped

    As a general rule, if there's no bleeding, then a graft wasn't dislodged... So with that in mind, I think you're in the clear. Not only that, but by day 10, those grafts are securely anchored and it would take a lot to dislodge them.

    Furthermore, even if you were to lose a graft or two, it wouldn't be enough to make a cosmetic difference when your speaking of a hair transplant with a couple thousand grafts.

    Avoid any more head bumps, and happy growing!
