Carlos Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Firstly thanks for this forum maker for discussion. My problem is numbness at my back of head which occured after hair tranplation. After the transplation above the scar area is totally numb. Probably my doctor cut my nerve. After 4 months my right back of my head becomes normal. But left of my back head is still numb although 10 months passed after the transplation. Is there a posibbilty to recover nerve damage by surgical operation or Is there a chance of recovery by own like right of my back head? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlos Posted March 3, 2007 Author Share Posted March 3, 2007 I'm from Turkey. My doctor said that their is possibiliy to recover itself but it may be a permanent damage if 2 nerves does not contact to each other. The reason I write this message here is; Is there a person whose nerves recover 10 months or more later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bro66 Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 It's about 2 months past my HT and I still have a little numbness on the left side. Is this normal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member nobuzz4me Posted March 4, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted March 4, 2007 Bro, left side of scar area or recipient?? Either way, give it a few more months and it will probably return to normal. For Carlos, ten months seems way to long for things not to have returned to normal. Sorry you have this problem, the doctor may have permanently injured you I fear. Please go back and demand some action or compensation.

Guest bro66 Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Thanks. It's the left side just above the scar. I don't remember any numbness from my first HT last year. The doc used the trico closure this time, maybe that's the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill - Seemiller Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Carlos, One of the rare risks to an HT is permanent numbness. Though this is extremely rare, it CAN happen. I honestly can't answer whether or not the numbness will go away at this point or not...a doctor would be more qualified to tell you that. Perhaps get a second opinion by another HT doc or even your local physician. Bro, At over 4 months, I'm still experiencing a little bit of numbness as well...it continues to improve with time. I'm sure yours will too. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member hairbank Posted March 5, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted March 5, 2007 From personal experience, unfortunately, I can tell you that a severed nerve should grow back within 3-4 months. Honestly, if you're at 10 months I'm guessing that it may not happen for you. The only recourse you have is to call a qualified surgeon who can look into this for you. Start with your HT surgeon and then move on from there. Best of luck to you!

mr spock Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 If your still mostly numb a 10 months there is not a high probability of getting a lot of sensation back. You need to talk to your doctor and get his advise. I had similar problems after my HT2. At 10 months I had maybe 30% or 40% of my feeling back on the top left back side. It's now been 28 months and I have maybe 60% or 70%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member tkotko Posted March 6, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted March 6, 2007 Carlos, As you probably can deduce from the responses, 10 mos out is more than the norm time to recover feeling. However, that was one of the few "negative" experiences I had was the prolonged numbness. For me, it was kind of strange, but the left side of the back of my head, just above the donor site, was numb, as well as part of the recipient area. It was something that bothered me and I was a little worried, but I resigned to the fact I had to live with out, what else are you going to do. But, it did come back, or I'd say 95%, by the 12th to 13th month. I don't want to give you false hopes; all I can do is share my experience. In the meantime, you can call you doc for peace of mind as a few have suggested, but he is going to tell you just wait. I'm not sure what else he can say, besides, "sorry, but it happens". So hang in there and maybe things will improve in that area for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos Posted March 6, 2007 Author Share Posted March 6, 2007 At first thank you for your messages. Something like a miracle happened. 2 days after I post this message to this forum, numbness decreases. Right part of my left back is still numb but i can feel left left part Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill - Seemiller Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 Carlos, Well perhaps you will continue to see improvement! That would be a good thing man. So if you are "miraculously" better, that's terrific bro! Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
