Are there any risks of post-surgery complications ?

Complications (mainly bleeding and infection) are always possible, although extremely rare in the case of scalp surgery. If such complications arise, they are easily treated and have no sequelæ. However, there are some unavoidable side effects, such as swelling of the forehead, within the two days following and these side effects will last about 48 hours. You may also experience some numbness, which is usually temporary, in small parts of the donor and recipient areas. The current trend is to carry out more extensive sessions, during which between 3,000 and 5,000 grafts are transplanted. Obviously, this leads to increased risks of complication, leading up to possible necrosis of portions of the scalp. To minimize risk levels, it is crucial to adequately select candidates.
