Anyone have an unsuccessful procedure?


I had mine done a week ago to the day. The dressing finally came off, and I have disolving stitches.


The "weird" thing that I am noticing, is that the entire area where the graft was done is a nice pink, EXCEPT for a little patch on top of the root that was supposed to be covered. It is white, which I guess means it has not yet been able to receive blood.


Now, I am assuming that this little 2mm x 2mm patch isn't ALL they used to graft, (Usually they use a larger piece of skin and cover a larger area than necessary?) so if the rest is pink, can I assume this patch will soon follow?


 


(I hope that wasn't confusing..it's hard to explain)

My mood: pretty worried

 My first try at my graft didn't work and the tissue retracted but the second time it worked-see my story which explains more about my experience.
