I Got Tinnitus After My ARTAS Hair Transplant

I had the the Artas® procedure performed on me, but unfortunately. I ended up with tinnitus (ringing in the ear) in my left ear. I would appreciate telling you the the potential hazards of the Artas® procedure to warn unsuspecting “hair transplant” people.

Yours is actually the second email I’ve received from someone asking about tinnitus following a procedure done with the ARTAS. I did probe another doctor who has the ARTAS, however, he did not report this side effect on his patients. I do not have this system in my office, so I don’t have personal patients I can reference.

For those of you who do not know what the ARTAS sytem is, it is a robotic hair transplant system used for extracting grafts. You can learn more about it here and here.
