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.

Risk of Hair Loss After Browlift

i would like to have a browlift. i am worry about the loss of hair. My hair is very thin. In addition. I have been searching information and my understanding about endoscopic browlift is that it will last only a few years versus the open brown lift that will be last for more that 10 years. I am 46, I went to see a doctor and he told me I should have botox instead of the surgery. I don't think this will be an option for me because of the price and the time I will be spending on botox brownlift. Thanks for your answers,

A: Hair loss is possible

Unfortunately, any technique including the endoscopic approach may lead to some hair loss especially in the incision line.  Good luck with surgery.
