A TikTok creator, Kanah Flex, has gone viral after sharing his hair transplant experience, which left him with a noticeably swollen head. Kanah, a dancer and artist, documented his journey on TikTok, showcasing the procedure and its aftermath with humor and candor. He underwent the surgery in Wembley, Kenton, Harrow, and had 4,000 grafts done, which equals about 8,000 hairs implanted.
The procedure involved taking hair follicles from the back of his head and transplanting them to the target region. Kanah explained that he had multiple anesthetic injections to numb his scalp, which led to swelling that made his head look like a balloon. He jokingly compared himself to Will Ferrell’s Megamind character due to the swelling.
According to Dr. Emrah Cinik, a renowned hair transplant specialist, swelling is a common reaction to the procedure and usually subsides within a few days. The swelling is caused by tissue damage, inflammation, and fluid buildup, which can also be triggered by anesthetics and handling solutions used during the procedure.
Kanah has since updated his followers, assuring them that the swelling is starting to diminish. He encouraged others to “trust the process” and shared his experience with humor, making his hair transplant journey an internet sensation. Kanah’s openness and lighthearted approach have turned his cosmetic journey into a relatable and entertaining experience for his followers [1].
