Brow lift scars + buzz cut hair?

Question

I'm interested in getting an endoscopic brow lift (F, 35) but I have a buzz cut and I'm concerned about the scars. (I do not want to grow my hair out. I keep it very short (1/4").) How visible will the scars be after they heal? On people with hair, they'd be hidden. But my scalp is visible through my hair!

An endoscopic brow lift can leave small scars that may be visible in thin short hair. It can also move your hairline back a bit.

Hello @Loving612355, thank you for your question. The scars from an endoscopic brow lift procedure are usually very small and well-hidden within the hairline, regardless of the person's hairstyle. During the procedure, small incisions are made within the hairline to perform the procedure. Remember that the specialist surgical technique and expertise is important as well as patient genetics and post operative care. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.

Your short scar may show through. You might consider noninvasive radiofrequency treatments with micro-needling instead for tightening.
