A TikTok creator has gone viral after posting about the surprising aftermath of his hair transplant, humorously claiming the swelling makes him look like “an alien.”
Kanah Flex, a dancer and artist, shared his experience with the cosmetic procedure on TikTok, where his candid and lighthearted take quickly drew attention. He made it clear from the start that he didn’t travel abroad for the surgery.
“For anyone wondering, no, I didn’t go to Turkey for this,” Kanah said. “I got the procedure right here in Wembley, Kenton, Harrow, to be exact.”
Kanah explained that his day at the clinic began with an early consultation around 8:30 a.m. After signing a waiver and speaking with the surgeon, the plan was set to focus on the crown of his head.
“My hairline was actually fine,” he explained. “It was mainly the crown area and donor site that needed attention.”
Before the procedure began, multiple anesthetic injections were administered to numb his scalp. “I could feel my head swelling, almost like a balloon. Eventually, I couldn’t feel anything,” he recalled.

The post-surgery swelling, however, left Kanah with a noticeably enlarged head—a side effect he didn’t shy away from addressing. Comparing himself to Will Ferrell’s Megamind character, Kanah laughed off the comments.
