Pinkish: The graft should be getting a new blood supply by now and would have a pink or reddish appearance. If it's white, then still too early to panic, but the redder the better at this point. And if your own tissue was used, the donor area is probably still scabbed over.

Depends: Depends on the surgery and the instruments used. Was is laser or scalpel? Are you talking about the donor site or beneficiary site? Was a dressing placed? Was it a localized graft (1-2 teeth) or more involved? Are you on any meds? Diabetic? Also depends on where graft was done.These answers are needed to help answer.
