Pressure On The Scalp After Transplant?

[CATDOGMAN]

Hi guys,
Hope it is transplant paranoia again. But 11 days post op I was patting my recipient area dry. And I noticed that I actually accidentally applied a lot of pressure with my hands. Is it possible to crush the grafts like this? I am afraid I ruined it all now .

usually after 3 to 4 days the grafts are set and you can't damage them by patting. 11 days in the skin has healed around them as well. You should see some of them starting to drop off soon though, which is normal. I lost about 95% before they started to regrow in three months.

You cant harm the grafts after 7-10 days

Also not by applying to much force on your scalp and then crushing all the grafts? How come they cant get crushed?

research suggests at 7-10days theyve fully anchored

But isn't that only about when they are anchored? So they can't pull it out. But isn't it still possible to crush them ? So not pulling them out but appling to much pressure on the scalp?
