Prolonged Bleeding
Sometimes people may bleed a little after surgery, but it is not common to bleed profusely for a long time. Skilled surgeons know how to ensure this does not happen again and again.

It is really important for the doctor to perform the hair transplant in a very clean and safe place and to be really good at what they do. This way, they can help prevent any germs from getting in and causing infection.
