Man Issues Warning After Common Procedure Goes Horribly Wrong

A TikTok creator has gone viral after posting about the surprising aftermath of his hair transplant, humorously claiming the swelling makes him look like “an alien.”

Kanah Flex, a dancer and artist, shared his experience with the cosmetic procedure on TikTok, where his candid and lighthearted take quickly drew attention. He made it clear from the start that he didn’t travel abroad for the surgery.

“For anyone wondering, no, I didn’t go to Turkey for this,” Kanah said. “I got the procedure right here in Wembley, Kenton, Harrow, to be exact.”

Kanah explained that his day at the clinic began with an early consultation around 8:30 a.m. After signing a waiver and speaking with the surgeon, the plan was set to focus on the crown of his head.

My hairline was actually fine,” he explained. “It was mainly the crown area and donor site that needed attention.”

Hair follicles were taken from the back of his head, referred to as the “donor area,” and transplanted to the target region

I had 4,000 grafts done, which equals about 8,000 hairs implanted,” Kanah noted, adding that adjusting his hairline would have required even more grafts.

Before the procedure began, multiple anesthetic injections were administered to numb his scalp. “I could feel my head swelling, almost like a balloon. Eventually, I couldn’t feel anything,” he recalled.

The post-surgery swelling, however, left Kanah with a noticeably enlarged head—a side effect he didn’t shy away from addressing. Comparing himself to Will Ferrell’s Megamind character, Kanah laughed off the comments.

But should anyone be worried about such swelling?

According to Dr. Emrah Cinik, a renowned hair transplant specialist in Turkey, swelling is a common reaction and typically not a cause for alarm.

“Dr. Cinik’s website explains that surgical procedures, including hair transplants, can result in tissue damage that triggers inflammation, leading to fluid buildup and swelling that may even spread to the face.”

He added that anesthetics and handling solutions used during the procedure can also contribute to the puffiness, which usually subsides within a few days.

Kanah recently updated his followers, assuring them that the swelling is already starting to diminish.

“Trust the process,” he encouraged, adding a note of reassurance to anyone considering the procedure.

With his openness and humor, Kanah has turned a cosmetic journey into an internet sensation, showing the world that even hair transformations come with a few laughs.
