After hair transplant surgery procedure, the majority of the patients
report only mild to moderate pain and discomfort, which may be related with
some tightness, numbness, burning, irritation, inflammation in the donor area.
These postoperative post-operation symptoms settle down within a day or two.
The doctor will be checking the patient’s scalp area at every step of hair
transplant. After surgery, the patient will have tiny and small red spots where
the hair was transplanted and these red spots look like a brush burn where the
hair was transplanted. If the patient hair has a small length, the back donor
site will be completely cover-up.
The surgeons mostly do not cover the
scalp with any dressing bandage after hair transplant surgery and the patient
will be discharged with a special secure net cap to wear overnight and this cap
will remind the patient not to touch the newly implanted area. However, after
the head wrap dressing or cap is removed, the patient will observe a little
redness and a few “scabs” at many of the newly hair graft sites which normally
decrease by the end of the first week. Keep this thing in mind that don’t touch
or disturb the newly planted grafts in any case. You may also observe some tiny
clips in the donor area. The surgeon will remove these clips after seven days
of hair transplant surgery. It is very rare for patients to complain of major
pain with clip removal.
