I had a coronal brow lift 3 months ago. The scar seems to be getting bigger and is progressively getting more difficult to hide & actually getting wider. I am devastated! I thought by now I should see some new growth, but the skin is still smooth & no signs of new hair. Will my hair ever fill in again or am I going to be in a battle trying to fix this horrible problem?

Answer: Scars After a Coronal Browlift Widening of the scars or just hair loss will need to be addressed. First step is to attempt medical treatments to revive areas of alopecia. These treatments can include Rogaine, Biotin, Latisse and aldactone - see your doctor for more advice.The second step if step one fails is to have either hair transplants or a scar revision. If a scar revision is chosen then be sure that the revision leads to a zig-zag scar - this scar is much harder to see and the hair will not part in a way to show the scar as you have now.For more information, read my book "A More Beautiful You - Reverse Aging Through Skincare, Plastic Surgery and Lifestyle Solutions".

Answer: Coronal browlift and alopecia Is the area of alopecia(no hair growth) limited to the scar or is the scalp also devoid of hair?You indicated the scar is getting bigger....If the scar is widening, once it has stabilized(stops progressing) then a scar revision will remove the bald scar area. Closure with a tension-free technique is essential.If the scalp itself has lost hair then I would wait, but while waiting there are modalities to help aid hair regrowth. If they do not help over time, a "scalp reduction" and or hair grafts may be necessary.You are not here yet.Hope this helps
