Dr Harikiran Chekuri enhances patient comfort with 1st Nitrous Oxide-Assisted Hair Transplant in India

Dr Harikiran Chekuri, a renowned hair transplant specialist in Hyderabad, announces Nitrous Oxide-Assisted Hair Transplant Procedure for better outcomes. For the first time ever, Dr Harikiran Chekuri used nitrous oxide to sedate a patient for a hair transplant procedure.

Generally, hair transplant surgeons use general anesthesia to sedate the patient and perform the hair transplant procedure without the patient displaying nervousness or anxiety or complaining of pain. But using nitrous oxide as sedation makes the patient feel very comfortable, and the surgeon can deliver a superior hair transplant procedure. This procedure is also known as conscious sedation or Nitrous Oxide-Assisted Hair Transplant Procedure.

Dr Harikiran Chekuri of Redefine Plastic Surgery and Hair Transplant Centre Hyderabad states, 'I have successfully attempted a hair transplant procedure on a consciously sedated patient. The patient was awake throughout the procedure but did not feel pain or discomfort, and the procedure went well. Moreover, the best part of the procedure was that the patient was verbally responsive during the patient and did not experience any discomfort. Also, the patient can travel on their own after the procedure and do not require anyone to accompany them after the procedure.'

He shares a patient story of a 27 YO young man who wished to proceed with a hair transplant to treat his male pattern baldness but was sceptical about proceeding. Upon Dr Chekuri's assurance, he proceeded with it and was very satisfied with the experience. Dr Chekuri administered nitrous oxide sedation, which induces a deep relaxation in the patient, who remains conscious and responsive throughout the procedure. Soon after the procedure, he was alert, awake, and confident to go home alone.

Dr Harikiran Chekuri states, 'Nitro Sedation offers patients a relaxed hair transplant procedure experience without feeling discomfort and pain. As patients are conscious and responsive, they are at ease, and I can perform the hair transplant procedure smoothly.'

Nitrous oxide-assisted, or conscious sedation is frequently used in cosmetic surgery or outpatient dermatologic procedures such as laser rejuvenation. It decreases the risk of complications arising from surgical procedures and enables the patient to control his reflexes and stay responsive during the procedure.

Dr Harikiran Chekuri is a leading hair transplant and plastic surgeon in Hyderabad who caters to local and clientele from abroad. He is well versed in the latest hair transplant procedures, viz., FUE, FUT, PRP, robotic hair transplant, and cosmetic surgeries.
