I had an endo brow lift / facelift. So much of my hair is gone. Is my only option a hair transplant at this point? I am just over a year out. Is this normal?

Answer: Hair loss after facelift Good morning from Washington DC, Due to the surgeon's incision design within the temporal hairline, they ended up removing a lot of the hair bearing skin. I like to design my incisions within the side burn so this doesn't happen. Unfortunately, the only way to get that hair back is with a hair transplant. No medications or PRP injections will help with the hair loss since it was surgically removed. In my experience, women do really well with FUT hair transplants in cases like this.

Answer: Facelift / Brow Hair Loss Good Morning! Sorry that you're experiencing trouble with hair loss. Around the incision line, hair loss can occur for a number of reasons. At 1 year, the scarring should be fairly complete. I'm unsure why so much of your hair was taken during the procedure. There are products such as Nutrafol which help with hair growth and patients do say they work. Hair transplant is certainly an option and maybe a good starting point. Hope this helps!
