What are the possible Side-Effects of Hair Transplant?

Most of the surgical methods have its own side effects and some side effects are quite natural and part of the procedure outcome which is pre-stated in the post-procedure guidelines by all the hair transplant surgeons. As a rule, these side effects are not serious and are temporary, especially if the client follows his or her Max hair clinic’s surgeon’s post-operative instructions. Following post-operative instructions and keeping in regular contact with your Max hair clinic Aesthetic physician is essential to ensure an uncomplicated recovery.

These may include:

Temporary numbness of the scalp is a common, non-serious side effect that may last a few weeks. This is due to the disruption of scalp nerves during the procedure.

Mild Swelling: As tumescent is used in the anesthesia there are chances of getting a swelling on the forehead which will last for 3-4 days and then subside.
Itching: Itching generally starts post 10 days of the hair transplant when there is a secretion of a chemical called histamine from the skin which causes itching tendencies. Using a moisturizer or a body lotion will subside the issue.
The Formation of Scabs Post Hair Transplant: Post hair transplant the area appears to be red in colour due to the fresh implants which turn into scabs or brown skin and becomes hard after 2 days. If this is not the case, it is advisable to consult your Max hair clinic surgeon.
FUE Hair transplantation is an invasive procedure that requires strict adherence to pre- and post-operative guidelines given by the performing Surgeon. These instructions minimize risks and ensure a rapid, complication-free recovery.
Anaphylactic shock: This severe allergic reaction can occur in response to anesthesia or other drugs used during the procedure.
Scarring or infection of the donor area: These complications are more common in clients who have undergone hair follicle transplantation using the strip technique (FUT, NOT IN MAX HAIR CLINIC). Temporary hair loss in the donor area (Donor Area Effluvium): In rare cases, the donor site may experience temporary hair loss .
