It is best to contact your doctor about post operative care and instructions since each doctor has a different regimen.  Hair loss after such surgery is a risk.  It may take several months for the hair to grow back.

The scar you have that now shows, is the result of hairloss from the surgery, a non oncommon happening after any facial or hairline surgery. The way that you fix this is to have a hair transplant which will cover the entire scar.
