Can you tell me how common it is to have some hair loss particularly on the sides of the head with a strip of thinning hair just past the incision line from a lateral brow lift, face lift and neck lift. I also have about a little larger than a nickel size bald spot now further down that line from the incision. I have this on both sides but really my left side is worse than my right side. Thanks Vicki

Most hair loss after procedures that involve incisions within the hair are temporary. Sometimes the hair follicles go into a phase called telogen, where the hair falls out and the hair bulb or follicle goes into a non-regrowth period for up to four months. There can however be permanent hair loss if the incisions made did not parallel the follicles and they were damaged or if too much tension was placed on the closure of the incision. Other hair loss can occur if there was improper placement of incisions, causing such problems as loss of the hair tuft in front of the ears. If the hair fails to regrow, micro-follicular hair grafting can successfully be done, but I'd wait about 5 months to allow the follicle to regrow on their own first.
Im a 30yr old model(female-caucasian/hispanic). 6wks ago had facelift (modified volume adjusting) & lateral brow lift. My cheek elasticity was lax & brows were drooping (wanted both to be lifted & tightened). Dr is trying to convince me I look better, but Preop pics & video show very little difference & I still have same issues-lax skin & droopy brows, plus a bad brow scar (not sure why it was done so prominently knowing my line of work). Will time lift it more & make tighter? What about scar?
Usually the final results of a facial surgery require a period of time, somewhere between 4-8 months depending on how aggressive or what type of procedure was preformed. Scars are initially red are more visible and usually they look much better around six months to 1 year out of surgery. In your case there has been only six weeks since surgery, so it is very early to make any decisions about revision or the visibility of scars or the result itself. I think the best advice in your case, is to wait six months and reevaluate your result and the scar.
