Regular Member User New Posted August 3, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted August 3, 2022 I had my FUE HT 11 days back. I still have numb sensation on Recipient area and tightness at my donor area while moving my neck. Is this normal ? If normal many days does it take to get back to normal without to restrict my movement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Al - Moderator Posted August 3, 2022 Moderators Share Posted August 3, 2022 It's normal. It can take a few months for the numbness to completely go away, but it can also be much sooner than that. Al Forum Moderator (formerly BeHappy) I am a forum moderator for hairrestorationnetwork.com.

Senior Member JohnCasper Posted August 4, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted August 4, 2022 Not sure what you mean about "tightness" in the donor area. It may be just the normal healing process. Also, the numbness may last for months. I am an online representative for Carolina Hair Surgery & Dr. Mike Vories (Recommended on the Hair Transplant Network).

Rahal Hair Transplant Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 User New, it is perfectly normal to experience some ongoing numbness and tightness in both the recipent area and the donor area. You’ve had your hair transplant surgery 11 days ago so you are still in the very early stages of healing. Typically, any tightness or discomfort in the donor area will be minimal and short-lived if you’ve undergone follicular unit extraction (FUE) whereas it could last a little longer if you wanted on follicular unit transplantation (FUT). This is because with FUT, a strip of tissue with the vohicals has been removed from your scalp and your scalp has literally been suture or stapled back together by pulling/stretching the top and bottom part of the wound and bringing them together. scalp elasticity will return in time but it may take a little while for any tightness or numbness to dissipate. I hope this helps. Rahal Hair Transplant 1 Rahal Hair Transplant Institute - Answers to questions, posts or any comments from this account should not be taken or construed as medical advice.
