� being the most painful? The pictures I see on this board look horrifying
� as if someone is being stabbed thousands times in the head.
I think this question would be best answered by patients who have already got the procedure done.
However, in brief -
1. Injections of local anaesthesia are given in the donor and recipient areas to render them numb/ pain-free. So, the actual surgical procedure itself is pain-free (even though it may look messy or horrifying in the pictures).
2. In strip FUHT, the sutured donor area will be tender after the effect of anaesthesia wears off at the end of the procedure. Painkillers are prescribed for the same for 5 days.
3. The recipient area is usually pain-free at the end of the procedure.
4. The donor area of FUSE/fue is usually pain-free even after the effect of anaesthesia wears off. There may be minor discomfort or soreness for a couple of days. Most patients do not feel the need of painkillers after a FUSE/fue procedure.
