2 month ago i had FUE hair transplantation and i still dont feel anything in the front of my head.Is this numbness normal or the nerves can be damaged permanent? Also my native hair in this numb area is like a hay. Is numbness bad for hair growing or does not affectit? Can i use minoxidil in numb area? Thanks
Answer: Still numb in the recipient area 2 months after FUE transplant...is this normal? Dear Celavko, The short answer is yes, it’s normal, and all of the sensation should return. The FUE procedure can sometimes cause numbness, and it sometimes takes 4-6 months for full sensation to return. If you are still numb after 6 months, I would make a visit to your hair transplant surgeon and let them know about your concerns. You can use minoxidil in the numb area; it will not affect the numbness. I hope you find this information helpful to you. Kind Regards, Ken Anderson, MD, FISHRS

Answer: Numbness Numbness shouldn't have an effect on the growth of your hair. It's normal to experience some numbing following the surgery, and can take several months before it starts to go away. If after 6 months it doesn't seem to be improving then I'd talk to your doctor about it. Minoxidil is fine to use there.
