Q45 Does anesthesia carry risks? What happens if a problem occurs?
Yes, although the probability is relatively low. Local anesthesia can cause drug allergy, local anesthetic systemic toxicity (LAST), incomplete blocks, injection-site bleeding or hematoma, and temporary sensory disturbances. A doctor is present throughout hair transplantation, with defined response procedures for prompt management.
All procedures using local anesthesia.
Safety consensus on peripheral nerve blocks generally requires monitoring facilities, emergency medication and equipment, and appropriately qualified doctors.
Risk cannot be eliminated. A history of local-anesthetic allergy may be considered a contraindication.
Sign the anesthesia-related informed-consent documents before surgery. Immediately tell the team about palpitations, ringing in the ears, numbness around the mouth, dizziness or other symptoms during surgery.
