Top of my scalp is completely numb 5 1/2 weeks after hairline lowering/forehead reduction. When will sensation return?

I had one stage hairline lowering done 5 1/2 weeks ago. The surgeon excised just over 1 cm of skin from my forehead. The sides of my head, particularly around the temples, is still quite sore, and the ENTIRE top of my scalp remains completely numb. There is some mild itching, which I've taken as a sign that the nerves are regenerating, but I'm still concerned at the continued loss of feeling. At this stage is it normal to still be so numb?
