I have 2 lumps/bumps where the surgeon injected anesthetic for my FUE. It is almost 4 weeks since the transplant. Is this normal? They are rock hard to touch, not soft.

Answer: Lumps after injection of anesthetic It looks like your surgeon performed a nerve block. The lumps may be due to bleeding after the injection (especially if the area looked bruised after surgery); they could be clotted blood. Typically this resolves in a few weeks as the clot liquefies. It is unusual, and a visit to your surgeon would be a good idea to have it evaluated in person.

Answer: Lumps I never do nerve blocks; however, I suspect that you have developed two hematomas (blood filled area) which should go away with heat treatments but if they don't it may be an encapsulated hematoma. Please return to see your surgeon
