Hello Doctor
After a hairline transplant some people get a facial swelling for a few days and some people don’t. My question is : Is a facial swelling a good sign, a bad sign or indifferent, regarding the future success of the operation and healthy grow of the transplants
Thank you
Facial swelling is just an annoyance after a hair transplant that occurs in random individuals. It is neither good or bad. You can always minimize swelling by sleeping at a more up-right angle (so that the fluid drains downward) and in our practice, we rarely see it because of the use of short term steroids during and after the surgery.
