how long does the scalp stays numb after an hairline lowering surgery

If the hairline is lowered with forehead reduction surgery, most patients will have several months of numbness, sometimes taking even 6-9 months to return. If the hairline is lowered with hair transplants, the numbness will generally recover faster, and within 2-3 months, most patients are feeling normal again, but this is only an average. All the best,

Thank you for your question.  It is completely normal to still be numb after surgery, you are still early in recovery.  You may be numb up to six weeks, all just depends on your body.  Best of luck!Dhaval Patel

After a hairline lowering surgery, it is normal for the scalp to remain numb for weeks or months, but the sensation should eventually return.
