Headaches and Hair Transplants

Headaches after a hair transplant, while not common, can occur. Any medical procedure comes with a risk of side effects and hair transplants are no different. Some hair restoration patients reported some minor side effects such as redness, soreness, swelling and in some instances, headaches after hair transplant surgery.  However, most of these conditions are only temporary, and will subside after a few days.

In most cases those suffering from a headache after a hair transplant found that Over-The-Counter medications did much to stem their symptoms. It is advised for some patients that they refrain from taking ibuprofen or aspirin for at least 3 days after the hair transplant procedure due to a risk of excessive bleeding.  Make sure to consult directly with your medical practitioner, such as the Pistone Hair Restoration, to find out what your post-operative recuperation entails.

Most patients say that the inconvenience of a minor headache pales in comparison to the enjoyment received from a hair transplant. Of course if headache symptoms persist for more than a day or two immediately contact your hair restoration specialist. Headaches after a hair transplant, while not common, can occur.
