Some people have side effects after their hair transplant surgery. Most of the time these side effects are not a big cause for concern and will disappear as time goes on. Your doctor will let you know about potential side effects that you can expect to happen and he/she will tell you what to do. One of the side effects that can happen is that the donor area can feel numb. Many people worry that this could be a permanent thing. It is usually always a temporary thing. The way the Doctor has to cut the nerves is usually the reason that there is numbness. The numb feeling is usually right above the incision line. Every person is different and the amount of time it would take until sensation comes back varies but the typical time is 2 to 3 weeks. For the rare person it can take as long as up to a year.

What happens next is that the nerves will start to grow and reconnect. This healing process is different in every person. Usually there will be a pins and needles type of feeling as the nerves begin to grow back together. If the patient has other medical conditions such as diabetes or scars for example, the nerves take a little longer to reconnect as well. Unfortunately, the only way to know whether the numbing is permanent or temporary is to just wait it out and see what happens. This might not be the happiest news for someone to hear but again most cases show that the sensation will come back.

People that are losing their hair and have it restored for them due to this type of surgery find that some of the risks or side effects are worth it for the final result that they get. For information on hair transplant.
