Have you run into lidocaine toxicity during hair transplants? How is it mitigated?

September 30, 2024

Hi everyone, I'm looking into a hair transplant, but oddly one of the things that is causing me hesitation is not really the procedure per se, but rather (perhaps irrationally) a fear of encountering lidocaine toxicity. Is this something any of you have run into, and is there anything you can share around how clinics typically mitigate this? It would help considerably. Thanks!
