i am a male who had approx. 1800 grafts 4 months ago. i have yet to see growth of any kind. about 2 weeks after i had the procedure done, my girlfriend gave me a scalp massage. none of the grafts were lost as a result, but could damage have been done and could this be the reason i haven’s seen any growth yet?
We’ve studied pulling hair within the first few days after the surgery, and our studies have shown that you can not dislodge hair grafts after the eschar (scabs) are gone. The persistence of eschars is a matter of how well you wash your hair after the surgery. Good washing techniques make the scabs disappear faster. I doubt your girlfriend damaged your hair with scalp massage. Give it a few more months and you should see new hair sprouting (it takes 3-5 months for most of the hair to start growing after a hair transplant).
