Thinning Hair vs Bald Spots after Brow Lift

Hairline brow lifts, the Irregular Trichophytic Forehead Lift, almost never has either type of hairloss and gives the most lift. Endoscopic lifts often have a small patch of hair loss which is usually temporary but can be permanent and often drops more than the ITF lift.

Hair loss after a brow lift
Neither thinning nor balding are common side effects of brow lifting. Are you losing hair just near the surgical sites or all over your head? If losing hair all over you may wish to discuss this with a dermatologist.

Hair changes after brow lifts
Certain brow lift techniques may involve the removal of hair bearing scalp or the scalp is stretched resulting in actual thinning of the hair. Also any surgery that involves incisions in the scalp can result in temporary shock hair loss.
