A man has gone viral after revealing the aftermath of a hair transplant which he’s said makes him ‘look like an alien’.

Kanah Flex took to TikTok last week to reveal he had undergone the popular surgical procedure at a London clinic.

The dancer and artist was quick to deny he went to Turkey for the hair transplant.

“For anyone that’s gonna ask, no – I did not go to Turkey to get my hair done,” he began. “I got my hair done in Wembley, to be exact. Kenton, Harrow.”

Kanah explained that he had arrived at the clinic at around 8:30am to have an initial consultation with the team.

After signing a waiver, he then had a chat with the doctor who performed the surgery.

“We design what I need, we talk about everything I need,” the TikToker added.

The focal point of the transplant for Kanah was his crown, the highest point of the head.

He went on to explain how hair follicles were taken from the scalp at the back of his head, which is also known as the ‘donor area’.

“My hairline was actually alright to be honest, it was literally just mainly my crown and my donor area,” Kanah said.

“If I brought my hairline forward it would have meant that they’d have to take more grafts – a graft is two hairs.

“I got 4,000 grafts done, so that means 8,000 hairs have been implanted into my head.”

Anesthetic was then administered several times in various points around his head before the procedure took place, the artist went on to explain.

“I could just feel my head swelling, like a balloon. After a while I stopped feeling it,” he said.

And Kanah’s head hadn’t really gone down in size as he filmed the TikTok video, with the creative also poking fun at himself after seeing comments of himself being compared to Will Ferrell’s character Megamind.

So, is it a cause for concern?

Well, Dr Emrah Cinik, who operates a hair transplant surgery in Turkey, explained that this swelling ‘usually isn’t a health risk’.

That is if the swelling subsides within a few days.

“Any surgical procedure, including a hair transplant, causes tissue damage that triggers an inflammatory response,” his website states.

“This response leads to fluid and immune cell accumulation in the affected area, which can spread to the face, causing oedema.

“To minimise the pain of hair transplantation, anaesthetics are injected into the scalp. These fluids, along with certain solutions used for graft handling, can accumulate and contribute to oedema.”

Kanah has since shared an update, revealing that his swelling is going down.

“Trust the process,” he told his followers.
