For instance if you are planning for a hair transplant in Indore then hair transplant cost in Indore too vary from clinic to clinic, and surgeon’s experience to experience.  

Also, if you are selecting any hair clinic in Indore, keep in mind that like other surgical procedures, hair transplant procedure also comes with certain risks. If you are the one who is undergoing the procedure, it is important for you to make yourself aware of the risk associated with it in prior.  

Though, hair transplant procedure is usually safe, but still you need to take care of certain things before, during and after the procedure. In the process, some people may experience some inflammation, swelling, and pain in the scalp ranging from a few hours to a few days.

Let’s take a close look at the risk and complications associated with hair transplant:

 

Minor Short Term Complications Range Usually For A Week

Bleeding And Swelling Issues - In hair transplantation, the hair follicles from the donor area are removed and received by recipient area to see healthy natural hair growth.

There are less risks associated with FUE method, while FUT method comes with little complications, if not managed well because strips are cut from the scalp, and during the healing of the transplant, minor bleeding and swelling may occur.

 

Itching - This is a common side effect, not only of hair transplantation, but of any kind of surgery. It happens because the area where the surgery took place is trying to heal. So, it is important not to scratch the scalp to relieve itching. 

 

Infection - Infection or inflammation of the hair follicles is called folliculitis, and can occur as a complication, and can often be treated by antibiotic cream, lotion or gel.

 

Shock Loss - It refers to the situation when after post-procedure, newly transplanted hair suddenly falls out. Nothing to worry about as newly transplanted hair will re-grow within a few months.

 

Long Term Complications Start Range From Few Weeks

 

Scalp Laxity - Usually after the FUT hair transplant procedure, the laxity of the scalp got impacted due to the trauma of the surgery. Although the laxity of the scalp will be regained within the first six to eight months after the procedure.

 

Fail Grafts - Though the success rate of hair transplant is very high but in some rare cases grafts will not take to the scalp and repeat surgery is required.

Hair Curl - after hair transplantation, a long-term complication may occur in form of “hair curl”, which could result in ingrown hair and could result in infection. In the case of a large number of curled hairs on the head, the result of the hair transplant may look unnatural.

So initially for a year, after care of hair transplant is advised to ensure that the hair transplant remains successful.
