Tightness and Nerve damage after FUE HT?

Mike McleanFeb 12, 2019
Its been 7 months now I had my FUE done. (3000 grafts) I still feel some tightness in my recipient area (crown) and it stays 24/7 without any pain, but when I'm asleep and I woke up in between I feel normal. Also, when I touch my temples, there is a slight sensation or something I feel that runs from my temple till crown area. Is this because of nerve damage? Thanks in advance.

It is best to see a doctor in person for an examination so you can better understand treatment options after your doctor has a chance to listen to your exact goals.

It is normal for scabs and hair to shed post hair transplant. We don’t recommend firm scrubbing as it could dislodge the planted follicle graft

It is best to contact your surgeon for post surgery issues and care since all doctors have slightly different instructions.
