Does recipient area still have mild pain after 2 weeks post op hair transplant FUE?

Question

There is a bit of a pain in the recipient area when ever I'm touching the area. Is this a normal phenomenon or should I talk to the Doctor? I'm worried about infection too?

Jae Pak, MD · Answer

Everyone experience pain differently.  If you are having pain after your surgery it is best to contact your doctor for a follow up examination.

Bernardino Arocha, MD, FISHRS · Answer

_Horizon_,It is not possible to advise without the benefit of a in person up close examination. It is possible that you still have mild tenderness, and sometimes the recipient area is tender due to an ingrown hair when they start to grow. It is best to follow up with the surgeon you trusted to perform your hair restoration surgery.Sincerely,Bernardino Arocha, MD

John Kahen, MD · Answer

Mild tenderness should only be present the first few days after the procedure. I would recommend following up with our surgeon to further assess your symptoms.

William Rassman, MD (retired) · Answer

Sometimes small nerves are cut during a hair transplant in the recipient area. This rea usually heals and the pain should disappear over a month or two
