Hair Transplant Surgery Side Effects

Hair Transplant Surgery Side Effects Should Be Few and Far Between

Hair transplant surgery side effects are extremely rare if you choose a full-time hair surgeon. Hair transplant surgery side effects could include the following:

  • Some minimum discomfort in the donor area the first few nights post op. Some mild pain medication will help.
  • Some forehead swelling could occur day 2 to day 5 post op. This is rare but normal. You can apply ice to the swelled area, but not to the grafts.
  • Some ingrown hairs may occur as the hair transplant begins to grow. Simply apply hot compresses. Do not touch the area with your hands or fingernails
  • A scar will be left in the donor area. If you have a FUE procedure you will have a scar for each and every punch graft the doctor does.

Hair transplant surgery side effects are minimal and simply go away. However, the above does not include side effects which may occur form an inexperienced doctor and staff. Those hair transplant surgery side effects can range from pitting and cobblestones to death.

    I've had a wonderful experience with both Dr Bolton and Josh! It's been over 5 years since my hair transplant and Josh is always available to answer questions or help in any way he can. My hair is growing great and I've had no issues at all. Dr Bolton did a great job and he has a great team. I highly recommend!!!

    Only 8 1/2 months after Dr. Bret Bolton performed his magic natural looking hair transplant procedure, I'm super happy to report that he permanently restored my receding hairline and thinning hair. It only took one procedure which was completely pain free and fast. It only took a few hours for him and his team to reverse decades of hair loss. I am...

    I started loosing my hair when I was 18 and by my 20’s I was basically bald on top. I have had two hair transplants from Great Hair Transplants and it has literally changed my whole life. I had a lot of self-esteem issues but now I don’t have this at all. Dr Bolton and his team are extremely professional, before the hair transplant they look to...

One thing I really appreciated was how available and responsive he was throughout my recovery. I was definitely one of those patients who kept texting and asking questions, and...

    Making that first call to Great Hair Transplants was one of the most nerve-wracking decisions of my life. Hair loss hits deeper than people realize. After speaking with Josh and creating a clear game plan to reshape my hairline, fill in the recession, and establish a long-term prevention strategy, everything changed. What started as fear turned...

    Do not hesitate! Josh, Dr. Bolton, and the entire team are exceptionally professional. I flew from Massachusetts for my hair transplant and could not be happier with the results. Just look at the photos. The density is excellent and the outcome looks completely natural. The procedure was absolutely worth it, and I highly recommend contacting Great...

Our Pricing Philosophy

Please understand that we do not charge by the graft. In our view, pricing hair transplantation this way can be misleading. When a clinic says it is providing “1,000 grafts,” that number alone does not tell you how much hair you are actually receiving. Grafts can contain one, two, or three hairs, and each of those scenarios results in a very different amount of total hair—yet the patient is charged the same simply because the graft count is identical. For this reason, we believe graft-based pricing does not always reflect the true value or outcome of a procedure.

Instead, we have chosen what we believe is a fairer and more transparent approach: pricing based on the amount of donor tissue removed. Our planning is based on averages. The average adult male has approximately 200 hairs per square centimeter in the donor area, though individual hair density varies. Regardless of individual density, patients at the same pricing level receive approximately the same amount of donor tissue extracted, ensuring consistency in what is taken rather than relying on graft numbers that can vary significantly in hair content. While it is not possible to guarantee an exact number of square centimeters removed, we make every effort to come as close as possible to the planned amount—and when feasible, we aim to slightly exceed it rather than fall short.
