Hair Loss Surgery Side Effects


When your hair has been falling out for a long time, especially due to Dihydrotestosterone, most of those hairs are not going to come back without surgery. That is the main reason that you are always encouraged to try to treat your hair loss before it gets to that point, so that you do not have to go through the entire surgery process.

But if you elect to do surgery, you are probably worried about the hair loss surgery side effects - and rightfully so, as many strange things can occur when you put yourself through the process.

  • Itching

    The main side effect is itching. The surgery involves taking hairs out and putting hairs into various places on your scalp. There is a lot of plucking and a lot of grafting, all of which turn into a lot of irritation. Itching can be mild itching, like one feels with dirty hair, but it can also be severe itching - the type that involves a constant scratching of the head. The latter type can be an awful experience because you are not supposed to scratch your head for fear of picking at and creating scabs which could pull hair out.

  • Scabbing

    One of the hair loss surgery side effects, scabbing, is an actual problem because it can cause hairs to be plucked out. Do not pick at scabs or scratch them off, and you will probably be okay.

  • Shock Loss

    Shock loss is the most frightening of all of the hair loss surgery side effects. It is the sudden and immediate loss or weakening of large patches of hair, as your scalp is essentially 'Surprised' that these hair shave been grafted on and rejects them. Shock loss is not usually permanent, though. So you may have had a successful surgery, suddenly lose all your hair but then 3-6 months later it should start to grow back.

Hair loss surgery side effects are not life threatening, but they are not pleasant. It is a far better idea not to let your hair loss get to the point where you need surgery by electing to use a natural DHT blocker like Procerin so that your hair does not fall out in the first place. Surgery can cost 15,000 and it does not guarantee success. You can use Procerin for 20 years and still not have paid the same amount, while still holding on to all of your hair.
