While hair transplant surgery offers many advantages, there are also several disadvantages and risks. The following is a list and description of the major disadvantages.
1. Expensive
- Expensive cost : Hair transplant surgery is expensive compared to other hair loss treatments. It typically costs anywhere from hundreds of thousands to millions of yen, depending on the size of the surgery, the location of the clinic, and the experience of the doctor.
2. Recovery time after surgery
- Downtime : After surgery, you will need to recover. You can usually return to your daily activities within a few days to a week, but it may take several weeks to a few months to fully recover. You may experience some discomfort, such as swelling, itching, and pain in the scalp.
3. Uncertainty about the success rate and outcome of surgery
- Variable Results : Results vary from person to person and may not be as expected. Not all transplanted hairs may take root, or the density of the transplanted hair may be uneven in and around the surrounding area.
- Donor site limitations : If there is not enough donor hair, the amount of hair that can be transplanted will be limited and you may not be able to achieve the desired density.
4. Complications and risks
- Risk of infection : As surgery is a surgical procedure, there is a risk of infection. Clinic hygiene and post-operative care are important.
- Bleeding and swelling : Bleeding and swelling may occur during and after surgery. This is usually minor but requires proper care.
- Scarring : FUT may leave a linear scar at the donor site, and FUE may also leave numerous small scars.
5. Maintenance and care
- Ongoing care : After your hair transplant, you will need to continue to care for your transplanted hair to maintain its health. The use of specific shampoos and care products as well as regular check-ups are recommended.
6. Emotional and psychological effects
- Gap between expectations and reality : If the surgical outcome does not meet your expectations, it can cause psychological stress and disappointment. It is important to set realistic expectations during pre-operative counseling.
summary
Although hair transplant surgery is an effective solution for many people, it does have its drawbacks and risks. It is important to discuss with your doctor the best treatment for you, taking into account the cost, recovery time, variability in results, complications, need for ongoing care, and psychological impact.
