Crusting on recipient grafts and orderly placement of hair grafts (photo)

This patient is one week after surgery and did not aggressively wash his hair so that crusts form around each graft. Crusting comes about because of leakage of serum from the recipient site. This can be washed off as it occurs with a good washing technique that we deploy for all of our patients?. It will take a few weeks for these crusts to shed with good shampooing.  The grafts are secure provided that the crusts are not plucked of the grafts could come out.  The grafts are placed like soldiers, all aligned in an orderly pattern. This is not how hair grows as growth is randomly distributed
