I just had a hair transplant procedure performed on 12-06-11. I was given one of those surgical caps to wear on my head to help shield my scalp, but my scalp was still bleeding a little. I went to sleep with the cap on and woke up the next day trying to remove the cap. I could not remove the front part of the cap because the blood had dried up and become stuck to some of the areas where the grafts had been put in. I tried pulling gently on the cap that was stuck to the area where some of my grafts where placed and managed to pull it off but it came off with a good amount of scab and what I believe to be a single hair follicle.
Now I am worried that I ruined my hair line and the surgeon may not be able to do anything about it. Is it possible to have another hair follicle out in to replace the one that i accidently removed?
A surgical cap should never be worn to cover the grafts, for as you said, this could be a problem.
You should ask your doctor about the loss of grafts. If you only lost one graft, then consider yourself lucky.
