Brief Answer:
It is safe
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query.
FUE is a much safer technique.
The anaesthesia is used in diluted form and has very few complications.
Pain is also less in FUE and total recovery occurs in 3 to 4 days.
A test dose of anaesthesia is given to check for any reaction before actually giving anaesthesia.
Just relax it is a safe procedure.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.
