Permanent Redness in the Recipient Area After a Hair Transplant?

Have you ever encountered a situation where an FUT patient developed persistent redness in the recipient area after surgery that never went away? Have you ever encountered a situation where a patient developed Rosacea and/or Telangiectasia as a result of surgery which caused permanent discoloration of the scalp?

If this happens, what is generally the cause? And what is generally the ultimate outcome for these patients?

No, I’m not familiar with this occurring. I have never encountered a situation where a patient developed permanent discoloration of the scalp, such as rosacea (facial redness) and/or telangiectasia (spider veins) as a result of surgery.

When redness occurs it usually reflects sensitive skin, but it always goes away. Redness rarely lasts longer than a few weeks in the worst of cases. The one exception that I can recall was a patient that had redness to some degree last around 6 weeks, but that was unusual.
