Scalp very sensitive 7 months after FUE. Will it ever improve?

Question

Its been 7 months since my FUE hair transplant in Turkey. Today the sun was shining and I sat outside for not so long and my scalp got burned, but my face didnt. Also if I touch my scalp gently it becomes red. This indicates to me that my scalp is very sensitive. My transplant was a complete disaster so I like to do SMP to cover the scars on my donor area.. My question: will my scalp become normal ever again?

Hello,
It would be better if you shared some photographs for evaluation. İf you still have sensitive scalp, it would be better to consult with you hair specialist, they will give you a treatment according to your situation.

Thank you for your question
the number of grafts a patient will need depends on the thickness of their hair and the extent of their hair loss, which can be determined by the Norwood Scale below.
During a hair transplant, grafts are usually removed from the ‘donor area’ located on the back of the scalp and relocated to a balding area. The back of the scalp makes a good extraction area due to the high volume of hair follicles that congregate within that region that are not affected by the balding process. Specialist surgeons will remove a small amount of tissue that can grow hair and relocate it to the desired area of the head without damaging them.

Excellent question. It is not normal about sun burn and hypersensitive recipient area after hair transplantation. You should contact your hair surgeon about your question. Or you may need to schedule a consult for an evaluation with a local and experiences hair restoration surgeon. Good luck.
