Senior Member tkotko Posted April 25, 2003 Senior Member Share Posted April 25, 2003 Hi all - I was wondering how long typically numbness will be experienced in the recipient site. A couple days, week, longer?? I'm only 4 days post-op, but when I pat my head as directed for shampooing, the recipient site is still very numb. I'm hoping that's normal.

Senior Member NW Posted April 25, 2003 Senior Member Share Posted April 25, 2003 Numbness for me subsided fully by the time the new grafts grew in...gradually. This was the case for both HT's. NW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member tkotko Posted April 25, 2003 Author Senior Member Share Posted April 25, 2003 Thanks NW. I'll be patient. Just feels weird, like having a hairpiece or something. But so far so good, I'd almost accept the results as they are now (without the scabs of course!), but I know it'll all shed soon and the waiting game starts.
