Loss of feeling in scalp

[Follically Challenged]

One month back I had some micro grafts implanted along the hairline, mostly at the temples. But the whole top of my head had lost sensation. Has this happened to anyone else?

twice. It will be mostly gone by the second month. my third procedure did not have numbness on the scalp. Just right at the donor strip and in the recipient area. now 6 weeks later, there is just a hint of numbness which I can notice if i press my head against something hair, but not when I run my fingers through my hair.

i do have a friend with permenant hair loss. you won't know for a while since nerves grow at less than 1mm per day.

Yes I've got this from my procedure from two weeks ago, Dr. Wolf told me it's normal and the feeling will come back in a few months.

The numbness results from various nerves that were cut from the incisions. The good thing is that nerve endings heal and grow. The time may vary somewhat until you resume complete feeling.

"STRIP" site
