On the Donor sight there is still quite a bit of discomfort, like a sharpish sore pain and above the donor sight but just below the recipient site there is some very uncomfortable numbness and soreness. Last, the recipient site is all pinkish and not a whole lot of grafts have fallen out yet... Any thoughts?
Answer: 3 weeks post neograft It is not common for the donor site to have sharp pain 3 weeks after an FUE procedure. I have only seen this when procedures have been performed using large punches and over harvesting of grafts which creates an abundance of vascular trauma causing patients to have discomfort as you suggest. I would recommend following up with your doctor to evaluate whether you may have an infection and why you have the pain you are describing.

Answer: Discomfort and redness 3 weeks after Neograft It is always best to discuss any post-operative concerns with your hair restoration surgeon. Occasionally patients will experience some lingering discomfort beyond the first week after surgery. Although this only occurs rarely, this pain will generally subside completely within the first month or two after surgery. Some discoloration at the recipient site is not uncommon a few weeks after surgery as there is some inflammation around the graft sites, but an in-person examination by your surgeon can help to determine whether there is any infection or any other issue that requires treatment.

Answer: Discomfort 3 Weeks post NeoGraft is not uncommon Discomfort three weeks after having the procedure is not uncommon, especially if there were large extractions when harvesting the donor site. However, discomfort and redness can also be a sign of a potential infection. Therefore, it would be best to follow up with your surgeon to evaluate the healing process or to determine if there may be an infection present. If the area is infected, it may be necessary to use topical and/or oral antibiotic medication.

Answer: NeoGraft Recovery Thank you for your question NeoQ777. I am curious as to the size of the donor site. The larger the donor site size, the more discomfort you may experience, however, this is manageable to a degree by the skill of your board certified hair specialist physician. I suggest you schedule a follow-up appointment with your surgeon to review your progress and visit your discomfort. Best wishes,

Answer: Rare Pain and discomfort after surgery is normal but it normally should not last for weeks. If you think your pain is not normal, the best course of action is to have a follow up check with your doctor. What you are describing is relatively rare.

Answer: Could be normal This could be normal or an infection. You need to see your hair replacement doctor to make sure there isn't an infection. You should use a gentle shampoo to reduce any irritation. Numbness gets better with time. If you had restoration right above where follicles were harvested, numbness and inflammation are more frequent.
