  7. DONOR AREA STILL SENSITIVE...

Donor area still sensitive after 3 weeks.

October 2, 2017
Asked By:paterson31 in Ireland, IE

I got my HTP done a little over 3 weeks ago, however, the donor area at the back of my head is still quite sensitive to the touch. I don't notice it during the day when I'm at work, but at night time when I'm in bed I notice it when my head is on my pillow. It's not very painful, it's just sensitive to the touch and I sleep without a problem. Professional opinions welcome, Thanks

Can a Norwood 7 achieve, visually, a full head of hair by combining hair from back of the head with shoulder and chest hair?
William Rassman, MD (retired) says:

Transplanting a Norwood Class 7 can be easily accomplished if you have a high donor density, if you use Scalp MicroPigmentation to augment the results or beard hair as a donor source. Body hair below the neck is not as effective and very costly.
