Scabs After Transplant: Would like Feedback

Hey guys, I recently got a transplant and on day 6 the scabbing was in full effect. The scabs were already so loose that I didn't even pick at them, I could just lightly graze my hand over my hair and they would crumble off (sorry for the visual).

So I'm worried that I pulled out a bunch of grafts and/or that I damaged grafts. Do any of you guys who had transplants have experience feedback you can give me? Did any of you do this and still have a good turn out/bad turn out?

I guess I'm feeling kind of stressed after spending a lot of money that I may have screwed it up. I'd love to hear your experiences with this!
thanks

As long as there was no real bleeding then its almost certain that you have'nt hurt the grafts. A few days after the op the follicles will be pretty secure. Obviously scratching very hard could possibly damage them, but by 6 days lightly rubbing off the scabs (if they are easily coming off) is absolutley fine.

Dont fret every guy who has ever had a hair transplant will worry about this stuff!
