Hair Loss After Brow and Face and Neck Lift 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

A: hair loss after facelift

I tell my patients hair loss can occur after face/brow/neck lifts for two reasons. First, incisions and tension can sometimes lead to hair loss do to their affect on blood flow. Second some people believe that general anesthesia and/or the "stress" of surgery can lead to generalized hair loss. In both cases the hair loss can stop and hair can regrow. I often recommend to my Facelift patients that they regularly use Nioxin shampoo before and after their procedure and rogaine as well to potentially reduce the potential for hair loss. Do not take this as medical advice/Consult your plastic surgeon - I can not state that this would apply to you I am simply stating what I do routinely in my practice.
