Seeking clinical advice/experience. I had 3400 FUE procedure in 2015 (Turkey). No complications at the time of surgery but left with diffuse numbfness across top of head (recipient area). Extremely rare. Surgeon and team were experienced (ABHRS certification). I would really like a second transplant but want to ask if any surgeon has performed surgery in case like mine.
