FUE NeoGraft 1700 grafts - 1 week post op needle like sting in donor area, advice?

Thank you for your question. You should have received some pain mediation to control any discomfort you experience during recovery. I suggest that you discuss your healing instructions with your board certified facial plastic surgeon.
Best wishes,

Thank you for asking this question, I know there are likely many people out there that have had a similar question. Please view my video response.

Actually, it is not uncommon at all to have early discomfort after any FUE procedure in the donor area in the back of your scalp. This is because of your  hairs in the donor area beginning to grow, and they are like little needles sticking you in the back of the scalp when you lay your head back on a pillow or chair.
As the donor site heals and the donor site hair gets longer, this discomfort will subside and go away completely.
Congratulations on your getting a NeoGraft. My patients are elated with the results. You will begin to see significant hair density at 5 to 6 months. Often at six months, it is quite impressive although full growth of all of the grafts takes about 18 months.
Thank you for your question, and best of luck to you
