When performed by trained physicians, today’s hair transplant surgery is very safe and effectively creates natural-looking, permanent results that are virtually undetectable. A hair transplant usually causes only minor side effects that disappear within a few weeks. You might experience a tight, swollen scalp for a few days. Scabbing is also common following this procedure, and it’s temporary. Your doctor can advise you on minimising these side effects, so your healing process goes smoothly.
