It is common to experience swelling in the forehead and around the eyes after a hair transplant procedure that focuses on the hairline and anterior scalp.  Swelling begins on the evening of surgery and usually resolves 5 days to 7 days later.  There are medications and interventions (icing and massaging the forehead, sleeping at a 45-degree reclined angle, etc.) that can make the swelling go away faster.
