Is hair transplant safe?

In general, yes it is safe. But it is still a surgical procedure and ample complications have resulted. The most common complication is failure to take the hair transplant-meaning that the transplanted hair have fallen out. Other complications include ongoing pain, infection, bruising of the scalp, swelling of the face, injury to the nerves along side the scalp, bleeding and a poor result. You have to remember hair transplant brings a lot of money for the surgeon and today, many types of doctors are performing this art form. Many have only been for a weekend course and have no formal training in plastic surgery. There are some excellent plastic surgeons who can do a great job, but on the other hand there are just as many bad surgeons who can mess you up. For the hair maniac, one final warning- do not believe any surgeon who claims that he has never had a complication. Reports of death have been reported in Europe.
