Question

After 10 weeks of FUE about 1 inch of scalp in the middle is still senseless. No shedding on one side of head, had pimples on that side for last two weeks but now they are much better. Only 5% of hair are growing on that side and the rest are the same as they were planted.

Thank you for your question. You will experience the regrowth via NeoGraft at the 6-12 month post-op period. I suggest that you consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon to discuss any numbness or prolonged discomfort that you have experienced. Best wishes,

It is senseless to worry about growth after 10 weeks.  It may take 6 to 12 months to see results.  If your scalp is numb and you are concerned you should follow up with your doctor.

Anthony Bared, MD, FACS · Answer

It is normal to have a loss of sensation to small areas of the scalp after a hair transplant.  Small nerve-endings are affected after a transplant.  You will need to continue to give it time for the sensation to the area to return.
