Preparation:
It is important to find a respected, well-established, experienced surgeon and discuss the expected results prior to the surgery.
The patient may need blood tests to check for bleeding or clotting problems and may be asked not to take aspirin products before
the surgery. The type of anesthesia used will depend on how extensive the surgery will be and where it will be performed.
The patient may be awake during the procedure, but may be given medication to help them relax.
A local anesthetic drug which numbs the area will be applied or injected into the skin at the surgery sites.
Aftercare:
The area may need to be bandaged overnight. The patient can return to normal activities; however, strenuous activities should be avoided in the first few days after the surgery. On rare occasions, the implants can be "ejected"
from the scalp during vigorous exercise. There may be some swelling, bruising, headache, and discomfort around the graft areas and around the eyes. These symptoms can usually be controlled with a mild pain reliever like aspirin. Scabs may form at the graft sites and should not be scraped off. There may be some numbness at the sites, but it will diminish within two to three months.
Risks:
Although there are rare cases of infection or scarring, the major risk is probably that the grafted area does not look the way the patient expected it to look.
Normal results:
The transplanted hair will fall out within a few weeks, however, new hair will start to grow in the graft sites within about three months. A normal rate of hair growth is about 0.25-0.5 in (6-13 mm) per month.
Abnormal results:
Major complications as a result of hair transplantation are extremely rare.
Occasionally, a patient may have problems with delayed healing, infection, scarring, or rejection of the graft; but this is uncommon.
