March 6, 2024

Not everyone loves the way they look and the features they have. Many of them wish to alter their aesthetics and enhance their looks in a way that looks visually appealing. To achieve the same, many people look forward to undergoing any of the plastic surgeries. However, the procedure of plastic surgery can result in complications which can lead to unattractive or unnatural final results. 

 

WHAT IS A PLASTIC SURGERY? 

Plastic surgery is a surgical procedure that is done for the restoration, alteration or reconstruction of the human body. It is mainly done to alter certain areas of your body, either to treat medical issues or to enhance appearance. Reconstructive plastic surgery and cosmetic surgery represent different types of procedures for different results. One of the most common cosmetic plastic surgeries is the hair transplant surgery. Many men and women choose to undergo this procedure to achieve hair restoration as they have abnormal hair loss or baldness due to any trauma. 

 

RISKS OF A HAIR TRANSPLANT SURGERY

Every surgical procedure comes with a risk; and when it comes to plastic and reconstructive surgery, these procedures are even more complex. A hair transplant plastic surgery procedure is a minimally invasive procedure performed on an outpatient basis. However, there are risks involved in this procedure as well that you might not be well aware of. 

 

  • You may suffer an allergic reaction due to the anesthesia administered before the beginning of the procedure. Although rare, this allergic reaction may prove fatal for some people. 
  • Reddened, severe, itchy, and raised scars after the procedure 
  • Death of the skin grafts used during your hair transplant procedure for restoration of hair 
  • The need to undergo another surgery to treat any of the complications you faced after a hair transplant procedure
  • Any kind of surgical risks like infection or unwanted bleeding 
  • The death of the tissue that surrounds the wound 
  • There may be nerve damage that includes permanently losing sensation in a particular area or the areas where that nerve supplies. 

 

Apart from these, you may be at an increased risk of some other complications due to your lifestyle habits or medical history. You may discuss this with your surgeon before undergoing a hair transplant surgery to evaluate your chances of suffering any complications or risks.
