Question for people who have had FUE done...

[crizwold]

When someone runs their hand over the place where the hair follicle was extracted, how does it feel? Is it bumpy?

 

Same with the place where it was inserted? Does it feel natural? Or as if there is some kind scar or something?

Hi Crizwold,

 

I have to assume that your question is regards to the feeling of the scalp to the touch after the initial healing phase is completed post and FUE surgery. One of the reasons many people choose FUE is for its less invasive nature.Immediately following the surgery you normally have the slight raising of recipient sites. This most often subsides in short length of time depending on the individual patients' healing process. In cases familiar to our centers patients report their scalp feeling normal for them within a few weeks after the procedure.

 

Remember wound healing is individual in nature and some people can experience a different result. All of this should be discussed thoroughly with one's hair restoration surgeon before electing a particular type of hair transplant surgery. All the Best, Michael

Michael, thanks for the response. That is what I meant, yes.

 

So the recipient sites return to normal rather quickly (generally), what about the sites the follicles are pulled from?

 

Thanks

Chris

For me, cant feel or see anything abnormal, basically undetectable
