How do I deal with an ingrown hair at the incision site after hairline lowering (similar to facelift)? (photos)

Hi.  The best thing to do is not to try to fix it yourself.  Go back and see your operating surgeon, who can make an accurate diagnosis - ingrown hair, suture granuloma, or scar tissue - as it's hard to tell in the photo.  All the best,

Its always difficult to know what is causing the pain after a forehead lowering procedure. In fact, in any scar along or within the hairline can be difficult. However, there are more possibilities than an ingrown hair. We often use deep absorb-able sutures and some people can get a "stitch granuloma" or irritation around one of these. The best choice, is to see your surgeon. The odds are this will go away, but rarely it needs treatment.
