Asked By:pantk87 in Nicosia, 04

Hi i did the FUE 17 days ago,2000 grafts.No side effects,almost no headache,crusts have almost fallen,but today I felt strange by the time i woke up. It's like touching slightly my scalp with a knife,throbbing.Not all the time and not at a specific part.It's mostly at the transplanted area but I feel it at the donor area too.It's not too disturbing but I am worried. Also my skin at the transplanted area seems very sensitive and it's like still having anaesthesia at it.Is that normal at day 17?

7 months post FUE operation. My hair is growing in uneven . At this point should I be concerned? (photos)
Amit Gupta, MD - Account Suspended says:

Hello I am not sure of your post op pics, they all look preops to me. I see that your grafts have been placed pretty wide apart, so you cannot expect huge densities. I am sure your surgeon discussed this planning with your doctor proeperatively. Hair transplant is a constant struggle between...
