Jae Pak, MD · Answer

It is not normal to experience pain after a month.  However some people experience pain differently.   It is best to follow up with your doctor for a recheck if you are concerned.

David Deutsch, MD · Answer

Usually by one month after a procedure there is minimal to no pain,however everyone responds differently.Based on your photos everything looks normal.If the pain doesn't subside within the next few weeks you should follow up with your surgeon.

Craig L. Ziering, DO · Answer

While typically at 25 days post op the pain is non existent or minimal, everyone has a different threshold for pain and discomfort (varies from patient to patient). Sometimes if there is an ingrown hair, the area can be very tender as well. If your pain persists and is disrupting your daily actives, you should follow up with your surgeon.

4 weeks pain in the donor area as a complaint means that you should go back to see your doctor and get an examination
