Side Effects of Hair Transplants Surgery

Hair Transplant Side Effects
Hair thinning, known as “shock loss”, is a common side effect of hair transplants surgery that is usually temporary. Bald patches are also common, as fifty to a hundred hairs can be lost each day. Other hair transplant side effects include swelling of areas such as the scalp and forehead. If this becomes uncomfortable, medication may ease the swelling. Additionally, the patient must be careful if his scalp starts itching, as scratching will make it worse and cause scabs to form. A moisturizer or massage shampoo may be used in order to relieve the itching.
Several years after hair transplants surgery, more hair loss can occur, with the transplanted patches staying in place. This results in odd patches of hair, unless they are removed, or unless more hair is transplanted.
Finally if you are considering hair transplants surgery make sure your hair transplant doctor is a member of the International Alliance of Hair Restoration Surgeons.
