i would like to have a browlift. i am worry about the loss of hair. My hair is very thin. In addition. I have been searching information and my understanding about endoscopic browlift is that it will last only a few years versus the open brown lift that will be last for more that 10 years. I am 46, I went to see a doctor and he told me I should have botox instead of the surgery. I don't think this will be an option for me because of the price and the time I will be spending on botox brownlift. Thanks for your answers,
Answer: Risk of hair loss with brow lift Any time an incision is made on the hair bearing scalp it carries the risks of prominent scar formation and temporary hair loss at the surgical site. However, with proper incision placement and beveling techniques the risk of permanent hair loss is generally low. Depending on the growth phase of the hair follicles, significant hair growth around or through the scar is excepted to occur within a year to help camouflaging the scar. However, if (potential) badness or naturally thin hair to begin with is the issue, prominent scar formation and alopecia can be more of a concern.

Answer: Risk of Hair Loss After Browlift The endoscope has revolutionized the forehead lift/brow stabilization concept since it is so different that the original coronal lift (an incision from ear to ear with a wedge of skin and hair removed). With very thin hair, this may create more of a problem of hair loss because the closure of this will be tighter than the endoscopic approach.

Answer: Risk of hair loss after browlift Hair loss is a possibility after any surgery that involves an incision within the hair. This risk can be minimized with proper surgical technique, but not completely eliminated. Some studies do show that the endoscopic brow lift does not last as long as some other techniques, but this depends on the specifics of the surgeon's technique. Other studies have shown endoscopic techniques to be equivalent to open approaches. In my experience, the endoscopic technique is a great, long-lasting option for many patients due to an easier recovery and less visible incisions.

Answer: Risk of Hairloss After Browlift There are a variety of browlift techniques, and each one needs to be individualized for the patient. The risk of hair loss is usually quite low, but can occur along the incision line typically when there is excessive tension and/or rough handling of the skin and/or delicate hair that is susceptible to falling out. Whether the lateral browlift, or trichophytic/hairline incision, or lateral browlift (the one I most commonly utilize) is chosen depends on the appearance of your brows, your goals, the thickness of your skin and heaviness of your brows, your hair pattern, and the experience of your surgeon.
