GlossaryGraft Popping

dislodging of transplanted hair grafts post-surgery

Graft popping refers to the phenomenon where hair grafts, which have been transplanted during a hair restoration procedure, become dislodged from their intended position. This can occur due to improper handling, excessive swelling, or patient movement shortly after the surgery. It is crucial to avoid graft popping to ensure the success and natural appearance of the hair transplant.
