Can you feel transplants growing?

At first glance I wanted to give some wise-crack answer like PGP, which I always appreciate.

 

But my guess is zhiangde may really be curious.

 

So no you should not feel anything related to growing. Maybe a bit of pain the first 2 nights after the procedure near your strip, and very likely some numbness above your scar in the back for a while followed by tingling as the nerves grow back together.

 

After that PGP is right on, you should feel happiness.

Actually, since zhiangde's question is a bit ambiguous, I've interpreted the question differently.

 

What I thought he meant was whether or not you can feel the transplanted hair with your finger tips even before they can be seen visually. If this is the case, then the answer is yes.

 

Also, you may experiencing some itching as the hair grows in, and get some pimples a few weeks before some of the hairs sprout through the surface of the scalp.

 

Best wishes,

 

Bill
