Is it Successful?
Yes! Hair transplantaion has been continually refined over the last 40 years and Toronto, Canada has a proud record as a leader in developing and refining advances in this field. In experienced hands, approximately 95% or more of the transplanted hairs will grow in their new position and this is essentially permanent. Hair transplantation does not achieve your original hair density, but generally will provide good to excellent coverage, depending on your hair characteristics and the number of grafts transplanted.
Is it safe?
Yes! Hair transplantation has a justified reputation as being very safe. Patients may experience minor side-effects, such as mild swelling of the forehead. A prescription is given for medication that helps to keep swelling to a minimum. You may also experience temporary numbness in the transplanted sites. Minor bruising is very uncommon, approximately one in fifty patients.In a small number of patients, a temporary loss of a small amount of existing hair may fall out after the procedure. This always grows willback. Complications are most unusual and may include a minor infection at the graft site. This easily responds to oral antibiotics.
