Numbness in scalp post-op

[HairMe]

Wanted to get an idea from the forum of those who've had a HT of how long the numbness in the scalp lasts post-op.   Days, Months, etc.?

From what i read, in some cases FUT can have permanant numbness/nerve damage where strip was taken. One of the reasons why i opted against it, even with NW6.  With FUE few months numbness should resolve.

Numbness can last months from all I've read

Although it has subsided quite a bit, I'm close to month 6 of my HT and still feel numbness.

Nerve damage can take a year or more to fully heal.

I still have some slight numbness in my recipient zone to this day and it's been 1 year and 4 months. It's not too bad, but it's there. This can last all your life from my understanding. I had an FUE procedure done.
