Will Bald Patches After Endoscopic Brow Lift Grow Hair?

Nancy Cat
I love my brow lift. My surgeon did an excellent job. I trust him. But I am concerned about 2 bald patches around the incision. One area is about 3/4 of an inch long & wide and almost completely smooth. The skin is still raised and tight. Pictures that I have looked at involving hair loss around brow lift incisions show more hair thinning rather than complete hair loss. If I use minoxidil to stimulate regrowth, I have read that my follicles will become dependent.
