The same thing happened to me. The doctor told me humans can regenerate fingertips indefinitely so long as the amputation does not extend beyond the tip of the fingerbone. It was fascinating to watch my fingertip regrow layer by layer (including the fingerprint) over the few months it took to regenerate.
