A TikTok creator has gone viral for humorously sharing the aftermath of his hair transplant, joking that the swelling made him look like “an alien.”

Kanah Flex, a dancer and artist, documented the procedure on TikTok, noting he had it done in Wembley, not abroad. He received 4,000 grafts to cover his crown, not his hairline, and described the swelling as balloon-like after multiple anesthetic injections.

Despite the dramatic post-surgery look, Kanah reassured viewers it’s normal and temporary. Experts confirm swelling is a common reaction to hair transplants. Now recovering, Kanah told followers to “trust the process,” turning his experience into a viral, lighthearted moment.
