A member asked:
I had hair transplant last 5 days but still have numbness on my head. is it caused by overdose anesthesia and can it recover?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cut nerve: In harvesting a strip of skin (and slicing it up for transplant) the nerves that innervate the scalp can be cut. They may re grow at a rate of 1mm per day, so it may take several months to know if you will regain full sensation in the area.
