Swelling in My Head After Hair Transplant
hello doctor..i come from greece and i had hair transplantation about 3 months ago..a few weeks ago i noticed that the area where the new hair was transplanted it started to swell and raise up a little bit..i went to see my doctor again (actually it was a clinic, specialized in cosmetic surgery) and they told me it due to the new hair trying to find their way out but couldnt…they used a needle to cut it open a little bit and cleaned it from the blood and pus that was gathered in it..when i asked them if that is natural they told me yes, it happens from time to time cause some hair get trapped and inverted but they told me the transplanted hair will grow normally after that..is that true? could the transplants have died because of that? im sick worried..thank u
If what you are talking about is a few cysts, this occurs in about 5% of patients and with proper soaks (or drainage) they should go away. Sometimes they need antibiotics. If the pus or drainage was any bigger than a drop, then you could be having problems. You need to trust a doctor to deal with this (in person), not someone like me over the internet.
