Hair Loss
If the skin that has hair bearing folicles is still present in front of your ears (side burns). It should be growing back within a few weeks of a facelift. If it was removed during the surgery it may never grow back.

It depends on whether the incision is vertical or horizontal
Hi Laura in London,
I'm sorry you are going through this. It must be very difficult. I will do my best to help.
Not having any photos to look at, I can think of two possibilities. Some surgeons will shave the hair around the sideburn area to make it easier to sew the incision back together, as well as assisting in suture removal at the one week mark.

It is important to place the incision in the ear and follow in front of the hairline upward so you keep the natural appearance of each patients hair growth. If...

Hair loss after facelift
This seems unusual to me. Likely you just have temporarily interrupted enough blood supply to the hair follicles that they have gone into a "rest" phase. When that does happen, it is usually the beginning of the next growth cycle that will bring new growth. In a male, I would likely expect that to occur within 3 to 6 months.
If permanent changes were made to the blood supply, these changes might be permanent.
