digital83 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I recently had a hair transplant (1,600 graphs) for my crown area 3 weeks ago. I'm experiencing numbness around the doner area. The doctor said this is normal and feeling will return. But I am very nervous about it. Can anyone who has had the procedure shed some light on this? Does feeling eventually return? and if so, how long does it usually take? Thank you very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoyBatty Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Totally normal. You might start feel little "zings" too as your nerves "rewire". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digital83 Posted May 6, 2014 Author Share Posted May 6, 2014 Thanks guys. So it should feel after awhile like it did before surgery? Do you guys remember how long it took for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member irishsailor Posted May 6, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted May 6, 2014 Totally normal. As for time frame to return to normal, it really does vary. From personal experience, my first ht took almost a yr to return to normal yet my second ht only took a few weeks.

Senior Member Mickey85 Posted May 6, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted May 6, 2014 Normal, some guys say it takes well over 18 months for things to feel completely natural again.

digital83 Posted May 6, 2014 Author Share Posted May 6, 2014 Thanks for the feedback guys. I really hope i'm one of the lucky ones who gets feeling quickly. I had no idea that would happen after the procedure. I had heart surgery when i was 13 and the scared area around my chest never felt numb so i had to ask.

Regular Member JohnGage Posted May 7, 2014 Regular Member Share Posted May 7, 2014 I had FUE twice and each time my donor area recovered completely within 1 month. Recipient area took longer... about 3 months for the numbness to completely fade away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
