Answer: Can be normal Temporary numbness is common around any incisions, most of the time feeling will slowly return. There may always be some loss of feeling right on the scar or around but typically this does not cause any long term problems for people. I'd give it at least a year but always contact your Dr. about any post op healing concerns,

Answer: Post op Thank you annaschu for your question. Numbness after a strip method hair transplant is normal. Typically the numbness should start to go away around the 6 month mark. Gentle massage in the area of the incision can help. Consult with your provider with any additional questions and concerns.

Answer: Numbness four months after hair transplant strip method. Advice? It can take six months to a year for feeling to return to normal after the FUT procedure. Numbness at four months isn't unusual.
