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: Incision placement is key When placing incisions for a facelift a board certified plastic surgeon should counsel you on the repositioning of the hairline. She there is a lot of skin laxity the incisions can not be placed in the hairline but rather in front. This avoids overly excising hair bearing skin.

Answer: Poor Incision Placement Incisions placed in the temporal hairline for a facelift cause removal of hair-bearing skin. In some individuals this isn't a problem, but for many patients, leads to inappropriate hairline elevation. A hair transplant is the best course of action to correct this problem.

Answer: Hair Gone This is an extraordinarly poorly planned incision that resulted in displacement of your hairline and significant distortion of the normal. At this point, a hair transplant would be the best option. Another potential option would be tissue expansion to expand the hair bearing scalp and advance the hairline. I would recommend seeing a plastic surgeon with 6 years of plastic surgery residency training and a year of aesthetic fellowship training to ensure that you find an individual with adequate training in this very important area of the body.

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!
