The pain associated with hair transplant surgery depends on the type of surgery and the individual patient's perception of pain. Below are details on hair transplant surgery pain and how to manage it.
Pain during surgery
Use of local anesthesia :
Hair transplant surgery is usually performed using local anesthesia. Although the anesthesia injection itself may be temporarily painful, you will generally feel very little pain during the procedure while the anesthesia is in effect.
After surgery, you may experience mild discomfort or pain after the anesthesia wears off. This is due to temporary sensitivity in the areas where the skin was incised and the hair follicles were transplanted .
Pain Management :
A doctor will usually prescribe pain medication to manage the pain, which often subsides within a few days, and most patients are able to return to normal activities within a few days to a week.
Patient Experience
Individual differences :
Pain perception varies from person to person. Some patients report feeling almost no pain after surgery, while others may experience discomfort. The DR at Hiro Clinic also tried it, and although the surgery was painful, he said that taking painkillers made the pain almost painless.
Proper anesthesia management by an experienced doctor is important. If anesthesia is administered properly, pain during surgery can be minimized. At Hiro Clinic, we use conduction anesthesia, so the area of pain is widely relieved with a single dose of anesthesia. This reduces the number of times you are stabbed.
Aftercare :
Regular painkillers such as NSAIDs can cause bleeding, so we ask you to avoid them. Hiro Clinic will prescribe an appropriate medication, so please take it as instructed.
summary
Pain during hair transplant surgery is generally minimal due to the use of local anesthesia. Mild discomfort or pain may be experienced after surgery, but this can be managed with appropriate pain medication and aftercare. Pain perception varies from person to person, but most patients report that the pain is mild. If you have specific pain management options or concerns, we recommend discussing this with a physician at Hiro Clinic.
