Should I start using Rogaine before my forehead reduction?

March 13, 2018
Asked By:rp03 in Los Angeles, CA

Hi! I have scheduled a forehead reduction to be done in the coming months, and I'm wondering if I should start Rogaine before I have the procedure. I've never had hair loss, and there is no history of it in my family. I'm wondering if I should start it as a preventative measure for any reason. I'm a 20-year-old white male, if that helps. Thanks!

Surgical hairline lowering - do people with fine hair have an increased risk of temporary and permanent hair loss after surgery?
Jae Pak, MD says:

Shock hair loss is a risk with any hairline lowering surgery.  It does not matter if you have fine hair or thick hair.  Having fine hair probably would be more noticeable if you do have shock hair loss.
