Risks to understandSee the main complications to discuss with your surgeon.
- Bleeding, infection, swelling, folliculitis and scarring
- Temporary shock loss, poor graft growth or unnatural hairline
- Donor-area thinning, numbness or need for additional sessions
This is not a complete risk list. Risk changes with technique, anesthesia, treatment extent and your health.
What should I tell the expert?Medical conditions, medication and previous treatment can change your plan.
- Heart disease, high blood pressure, asthma, sleep apnea or other lung conditions
- Diabetes, liver or kidney disease, immune disorders, bleeding or clotting problems
- Pregnancy, breastfeeding, active infection, severe allergies or a history of difficult scarring
- Any previous reaction to anesthesia, surgery or an implanted medical product
- All prescriptions, over-the-counter medicines, blood thinners, vitamins, herbal supplements, nicotine, alcohol and recreational drugs
- Sudden or patchy hair loss, scalp disease, autoimmune disease, anemia, thyroid disease or hormonal symptoms
Do not stop medication on your own. Any change must be directed by the prescribing expert, surgeon or anesthesiologist.
