Itching is one of the most common side effects of hair transplantation, with around three out of every ten patients experiencing it. If irritation persists or intensifies beyond tolerance, it's best to consult a medical expert. Hiccups are another side effect that can occur in 5 out of 100 cases, and can last for several days. Numbness is also an inevitable side effect, but should subside after 18 weeks. Swelling of the forehead is another potential side effect, and can cause puffy or purple eyes in some cases. A temporary decrease in scalp sensitivity is expected, but in rare cases it may be permanent.
Mini-grafts and micrografts are used to minimize the appearance of transplanted hair on the scalp. With proper medical treatment, this is one of the side effects of hair transplant that can be easily treated. Before deciding to have any hair transplant procedures, it's important to talk to your doctor or transplant surgeon about any potential risks or side effects. Permanent scarring is an unavoidable side effect of hair transplant surgery, but with the right medical team and patient suitability, natural-looking results can be achieved.
