How long after hairline advancement does hair return to normal? So I had FFS early this month, and so far recovery has been going quite well. Particularly my incision along my hairline, it’s recovering nicely. However one thing that worries me somewhat is how dead my hair feels. I know that that area is going to be numb for a good while and that hair’s going to continue to fall out more rapidly. That I expected, what I didn’t expect was how lifeless and oily my hair would be. Basically, I’m inquiring as to an approximate timeline of how my hair will recover after surgery. As well as to whether it will restore itself back to its original state after some time, or if I have to get used to certain changes to the physical makeup of my head hair after the intrusive surgery that I had.
