Businessman dies after suffering "severe allergic reaction" to hair transplant surgery
An Indian man who was undergoing a hair transplant has died after reportedly suffering an allergic reaction during the procedure.
According to local reports, Shrawan Kumar Choudhary underwent the procedure at a private clinic in Mumbai, Daily Mail reports.
The Times of India reported that the 43-year-old died the day after the 12-hour procedure, which cost Rs. 500,000 ($7,244) and of which he had not informed his family.
Choudhary, who ran a logistics firm, reportedly asked the doctor for 9,000 grafts in one sitting - three times over the recommended limit. However, it is yet to be understood whether Dr. Vikas Halwai, the dermatologist who treated him, agreed to his demands. Choudhary began to develop complications after 3,700 grafts, Dr. Halwai told the police.
