Most likely, this area of hair loss is related to a process known as telogen effluvium, which is a stress related form of hair loss.

You might want to ask your plastic and cosmetic surgeon for a referral to a dermatologist for evaluation and possible topical treatment. The good news is that in most cases, the hair will grow back. The bad news is that it can take up to a year for all the follicles to do so.

Hi Dianne, the peri-temporal hairline typically does not hide trichophytic incisions well at all. That's why most surgeons prefer incision placement within the temporal hair tuft to minimize scar visibility. This applies to both open or endoscopic approaches. Of...
