I am considering an open brow lift to correct my hereditary low brow and high forehead. I've been keeping my brow elevated with Botox in the past 5 years. I have total trust in my surgeon and had several consultations.
My concern is the long scar that will be very close to my hairline. He said he will follow my natural hairline and my coloring--very fair--should allow for me to have nice healing. I have concerns if I will always need to wear bangs after this. Any thoughts from the surgeons who do open procedures and the patients who have had them would be greatly appreciated!
Scarring after any procedure is always a concern. You will likely not want to pull your hair back after a hairline incision as this can show the incision line. Most other hairstyles though should easily cover the incision. The biggest risk with these incisions is hair loss at the incision line. Fortunately, should this occur, a scar revision or hair transplant procedure is a good option for repair.
