What are the complications after a hair transplant? Common complications after a hair transplant include swelling, pain, infection, and bleeding.
What are the risks and side effects of a hair transplant? Common risks include swelling, redness, infection, scarring, and temporary hair loss.
What precautions should be taken after a hair transplant? Clinics commonly advise avoiding strenuous activity, smoking, alcohol, direct sun and touching the grafts while the scalp heals. Any change to a prescribed medicine, including blood thinners, should be agreed with the doctor who prescribed it.
