One of the most frequently asked questions before and after hair transplant surgery is hair transplant swelling.

We still receive many questions about hair transplant swelling and bruising that occurs after hair transplant surgery. We will share the information prepared by Dana Plastic Surgery for those planning a hair transplant.

Hair transplant swelling?

Hair transplant swelling is usually at its worst on days 2 to 3 after surgery, and after 2 to 3 days, the swelling is quickly absorbed.

Because the face is an area with the best blood circulation and is located above the heart, swelling tends to move downward quickly, so it goes down fast.

In general, because technology has advanced these days, cases of significant swelling after hair transplant surgery have become rare.

However, when hair transplant surgery is performed on the hairline, swelling moves downward.

So if the swelling goes down to the area around the eyes, it becomes noticeable.

Since it takes time for hair transplant swelling to reach the area around the eyes, these days it is possible to reduce the swelling before it moves down by using medications and other methods that help absorb the swelling.

Cases of truly severe swelling are so rare that they can be seen only about once every 2 to 3 years, so there is no need to worry too much about hair transplant swelling!

Dana Plastic Surgery’s know-how for reducing hair transplant swelling is actually built into every step, from before surgery to after surgery!

Hair transplant surgery does not end when the procedure is over; we also carefully provide postoperative care, which is why many people choose Dana Plastic Surgery.

Dana’s own know-how for reducing hair transplant swelling ①

The first know-how is that when performing hair transplant surgery, if the blood vessels are damaged by the implanter or slit needle, bleeding becomes severe and leads to swelling and bruising.

Therefore, reducing bleeding and minimizing blood vessel damage is an essential technique! We also use necessary medications at the proper timing.

The second know-how is the transplantation technique! The transplantation technique depends on the surgeon’s experience and skill.

Therefore, if the transplantation technique is good, swelling and wounds are reduced regardless of the transplantation method, scars become smaller, and survival rates increase.

This means that the follicle graft survival rate increases!

In addition, regeneration is promoted in the microvessels, improving blood flow and reducing swelling, and even if swelling occurs, it goes down quickly.

The third know-how for reducing hair transplant swelling is a shorter transplantation time.

In general, swelling is proportional to the operation time. Therefore, the longer the surgery takes, the more severe the swelling becomes.

Also, a longer surgery time means a slower transplantation speed, which means more wounds and greater soft tissue damage.

And as the surgery time increases, the amount of local anesthetic injections also increases, and the solution used in local anesthesia can also be a cause of swelling.

Dana’s fourth know-how is the use of the Abassi solution.

Abassi is a famous hair transplant doctor in Iran. He is a doctor who began hair transplant surgery a very long time ago, and one of Abassi’s well-known achievements is the Abassi solution.

He announced a combination of solutions that reduces swelling in the transplant area and promotes the absorption of hair transplant swelling, and by using this combination, swelling after hair transplant surgery was dramatically reduced.

That is why Dana Plastic Surgery applies the Abassi solution to all patients!
