You should not experience any pain during your hair transplant after your scalp has been numbed with local anesthesia. For the most part, this means that an FUE hair transplant is a painless procedure. Hair Transplant Surgery, like any other operation, necessitates a surgeon making small incisions into the skin. There are painful nerves throughout the body and face, so when a surgeon makes a cut into the skin, these nerves can cause pain if they are not stopped, according to Dr. Mohit Srivastava. He is chief hair transplant surgeon at Hair N Images, which is the best hair transplant clinic in Surat.
Is a Hair Transplant Involved in Pain?
Hair transplantation is a relatively painless procedure. This does not, however, imply that there is no discomfort at all. Even the most minimally invasive or benign medical procedures, such as hair transplants, have some level of discomfort. Fortunately, the discomfort is only temporary. The majority of patients report almost no pain and describe a hair transplant as a very simple and pleasant experience, depending on the cosmetic surgeon. Although it may appear to be a “simple” procedure, patients should be aware of what it entails and the level of discomfort they may experience before, during, and after surgery.
Prior to Surgery
The numbing medication is the only real source of pain for a patient during a hair transplant. After the scalp has been prepped and numb, the patient feels nothing for the rest of the day. The numbing of the scalp is divided into two parts: numbing in the donor area, where the grafts will be taken, and numbing in the recipient area, where the new grafts will be implanted. Before the actual surgery, the donor area is numbed. After the plan has been clearly marked and the scalp has been cleaned and trimmed, the doctor will numb the donor area the morning of surgery. The doctor will inject small amounts of a local anesthetic — the same type of medication that a dentist uses to numb the area before filling a cavity — throughout the entire region. The injections are quick, superficial, and done with a very fine needle. As a result, pain is kept to a minimum.
Surgical Procedures
After the numbing medication is applied, patients will feel nothing during the extraction portion of the surgery, as described above. A hair transplant, on the other hand, is accomplished in two parts: graft removal from the donor and graft re-implantation in the recipient areas (the balding and thinning regions). The recipient region, like the donor region, must be numbed before the doctor can make incisions and place the grafts back into the scalp. The doctor will administer the same local anesthesia into the recipient region as he did for the donor, and the whole area will be numb within a few minutes. The doctor and technicians can work in the area without the patient feeling anything once the numbing has taken effect.
The numbing in the recipient region will be the patient’s last sensation of the day. After that, the entire scalp is completely numb, from the very front to the donor in the very back. The surgery can now be done without causing any pain. Although the patient may want to readjust and take breaks to rest and walk around to relieve the discomfort of sitting for a long time, the operation itself may not cause any physical pain. If the patient starts to experience discomfort, he or she will tell the staff, and the doctor will prescribe additional numbing medicine.
After Surgery
Thankfully, Patients also show little or no pain after surgery. After the surgery, the doctor will re-administer the numbing drug. This means the patient can feel numbness for about 3 hours until it wears off and any possible pain occurs. The patient now has three hours to return to their lodgings, settle in, and start taking their post-operative pain medications. The patient can transition smoothly and without discomfort, if they take the oral medication as directed and build up some pain medication in their system until the numbing wears off. They would then take the pain medications as directed several more times the night of surgery before going to bed pain-free.
