3 Months Post-Op Hair Transplant and Still Swollen, Options?

Question

Jae Pak, MD · Answer

You shouldn't have swelling after 3 months.  You need to see your doctor for a recheck.You will lose your transplanted hair as well as some of your native hair weeks after surgery.  You may look worse before it starts to look better. It may take 6 to 12 months to see the results of a hair transplant surgery.

Sanusi Umar, MD · Answer

Swelling three months after surgery is not typical. You should immediately consult with the original surgeon who performed your hair transplant. What type of procedure did you have?

William Rassman, MD (retired) · Answer

If you are still swollen, you should go back to your doctor and ask him/her why you are swollen. The swelling should not last more than a few days or a week or so

Sheldon S. Kabaker, MD FACS (retired) · Answer

I have never treated such a complaint as you describe  it.  Some photos and a more detailed description of the swelling would help me to respond
