Regular Member AlejMZ Posted September 26, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted September 26, 2015 I know this issue probably have been discussed but I got FUE 1,100 in hairline + PRP 7 days ago and I still have a lot of numbness in the grafted area and sites around it towards the back of my scalp. Is this normal? When should I really have to start worrying about this issue. I am already very worried as it has not gained any sensation since the HT (the area is healing well). I ask my Dr. 3 days post-op he said it's completely normal because of so much meds (Corticosteroids, epinephrine, anesthesia etc) I got injected into the scalp.

Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted September 26, 2015 Administrators Share Posted September 26, 2015 Numbness is normal, it should subside with in 2-3 months, I had FUE months ago I had some numbness that is resolving itself now almost completely gone, nothing to worry about.

Pete-from-Farjo Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Nothing to worry about. Numbness is completely normal and will settle down in time.

Senior Member gillenator Posted September 28, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted September 28, 2015 Not to freak you out but it can take even up to one year for the numbness to dissipate. You did not have a large procedure so you should regain feeling much sooner than that. It's a series of severed nerves from the incisions as to why the numbness occurs however they heal and regrow in a short period of time. Congrats on your recent procedure...
