What are the harmful effects of hair transplantation?

Hair transplantation is the complete cutting of the tissue around the hair follicles together by special instruments, and then transplanting them to the location where the hair is needed, so that the hair can continue to grow, and hair loss, baldness and follicular necrosis can be solved by hair transplantation, but what are the harmful effects of hair transplantation?

Scalp bleeding or swelling

Hair transplantation is a minimally invasive surgery. The width of the minimally invasive small opening caused by hair extraction and hair transplantation is usually a few millimeters, which is very safe. However, after the surgery, the patient's scalp will bleed a small amount, the area of the head surface where the hair is taken will be red, and patients with severe hair loss will have a slightly swollen scalp. How to avoid: It is difficult to avoid, it is a normal phenomenon, patients can always reflect the situation with the hair transplant hospital, and the attending doctor will tell you how to deal with it.

Scarring after hair transplantation

After a small amount of bleeding, redness and swelling after hair transplant surgery, if not properly taken care of, it may lead to inflammation and scarring of the wound. And the occipital hair donor area will leave a linear scar, which is not obvious when there is hair to cover it. How to avoid: Follow the doctor's advice, take medication on time, pay attention to diet after surgery, do not eat seafood, fishy hair food and spicy stimulating food, prohibit smoking, avoid drinking alcohol, and prohibit washing hair for 7 days after surgery.

Endogenous hair and foreign body reaction

This condition is due to the fact that the useless hair follicles are not removed during the hair germ preparation, resulting in the forced growth of hairs into the subcutaneous tissue, which stimulates the formation of foreign body reactions and leads to itchy and painful scalp. How to avoid it: Choose a regular hospital for hair transplantation, and it is better to request an experienced doctor for the attending doctor to be able to prevent such risks from occurring.

Partial necrosis of transplanted hairs

The transplanted hair follicles need to adapt to the blood circulation of the scalp before they can grow normally, some fragile hair follicles may have difficulty adapting and become necrotic after transplantation, there is a certain chance of necrosis of hair follicles after surgery, which is normal. How to avoid it: Experienced hair transplant surgeons will consider more fully when taking hair and hair transplant, and will be able to cope with sudden problems and reduce the chance of follicular necrosis.

Skin infection

The principle of aseptic operation is followed in hair transplantation surgery, and antibiotics are used after the operation, so basically no infection will occur. However, if the hair transplant surgery is performed in an informal institution, the diameter of the implant knife and follicle extractor used in the hair transplant is not fine enough, resulting in a larger wound, and once the wound is infected, then the skin near the wound will also be infected, affecting the effect of the hair transplant. How to avoid: You should choose the team of doctors in the formal hair transplant hospital, the hair transplant technology in the formal hair transplant hospital, the hair transplant process in the formal hair transplant hospital, and don't listen to the low price lies of the informal hair transplant institutions.

No effect, waste of hair follicles

This usually happens in the informal hair transplantation institutions, the technology that has been eliminated or incorrect operation methods, resulting in the same as no implantation after the implantation, and even more hair loss than before the implantation of hair. The number of hair follicles is limited, so if the hair transplant does not work, then the previously extracted hair follicles are also wasted. How to avoid: Before the surgery, learn more about the information and technology related to hair transplantation, etc. When choosing a surgical hospital, pay attention to choosing a regular large hospital, if the price is too low or for more detailed consultation, the hair transplant surgeon can't answer, it is better to choose another choice, rather than doing it later, not to be greedy for cheap and waste hair follicles.
