Hi I had a ht (fue) 4 days ago in the front of my head. Oddly I have numbness in the mid center of my head still and no grafts have been placed there. I also have slight swelling around the top of my nose. I have finished a course of antibiotics and steroids. My question is to help the swelling and numbness am I ok to massage my normal scalp not around the implants or donor? Will moving the scalp skin from the massage at the top of my head effect the grafts at the front if it moves the skin?
