The Truth About Pain and Recovery"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p>Many people feel nervous before getting hair transplant because they expect it to be painful. Good news is that most patients are surprised by how comfortable procedure actually is. Hair transplant surgery is done under local anesthesia which means scalp becomes numb before the treatment starts. You may feel&nbsp; small pinch during numbing injections but after that there is usually no real pain during the procedure itself. Some people only notice slight pressure or movement while the doctor works on the scalp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the surgery it is normal to feel mild soreness, tightness or a light burning sensation for few days especially in donor area. However this discomfort is usually easy to manage with simple pain medicines and proper aftercare. Most patients return to normal activities within a short time. Whether you choose FUE or FUT the pain is generally minor and temporary. In this blog we will explain the truth about hair transplant pain, what recovery feels like and how you can stay comfortable throughout the healing process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\"
