Are there complications after the hair transplant?

Monday, July 26th, 2010
Hair transplant surgery is a painless and straightforward process that takes place in a particular area with a local anaesthetic, hence there are no repercussions on our body.
Scars and after-effects on the area transplanted are almost non-existent. Any incision on your body will always leave a scar but in the case of hair transplant, the scar will become invisible to the human eye in most cases. Obviously, each case is different and it is important to say that the individual factor has to be taken into account.
Evaluating the quality of the patient’s skin is very important because some people heal less effectively, so an alteration might be needed to reduce the scar visibility. This is particularly true for patients who have undergone 2 or 3 hair transplants (as baldness is a progressive process) in different areas. This can produce a pressure on the scar’s closing, so an alteration can be needed.

Does the hair transplant surgery generate scars?

Each case is different, and to tell the truth, not all patients heal the same way. There are scars at the place where we extract pieces of hair needed for the hair transplant, and at the place where the hair transplant takes place but they become almost invisible after healing, and one would need a magnifying glass to see them.

We have realized many hair transplants for famous people who were able to make public appearances in front of lots of people or to go to the hairdresser only a few days after the hair transplant, without anybody noticing that a hair transplant was done.

Does hair transplant surgery hurt?

This is the most common question we are asked by our patients. During the hair transplant surgery operation, most patients don’t even realize that they are undergoing a hair transplant because they are administered local anesthesia in the donor and recipient areas, as well as other medications before the procedure, which eliminate any potential discomfort. The patient’s comfort is our priority and we have a large and qualified team that has been working on hair transplant for many years.
For a few hours after the operation, it is normal that patients feel a light pressure at the place where the hair transplant was realized. Powerful anaesthetics are not required as the pain is usually mild. Light anaesthetics are usually sufficient. In most cases, we can say that hair transplant is a painless and straightforward process and most patients are pleasantly surprised by how minimal the discomfort from the surgical procedure is.
