Reducing post operative pain in strip FUHT procedure

Dear forum readers,
Pain and tenderness in the strip donor area, especially on the night immediately after the procedure has been performed, is a concern for some patients.

It is a good idea to inject the suture line with Injection Bupivacaine toward the end of the procedure. Bupivacaine is a long-acting local anaesthetic and very helpful in numbing the area overnight. Usually, 1ml is sufficient to lightly infiltrate the entire suture line in a full-length strip wound.

Please do discuss this with your hair transplant doctor before going for the HT.
