I had a neck lift done 6.5 weeks ago. After 14 days my hair started to fall out above the scar, mostly on one side. Is that normal, will it grow back? Is there anything I can do to encourage hair growth? I presume or hope it is temporary only. The scar is behind my ear towards the bottom of the ear and the hair loss is above and behind my ear. I posted photos too, so you can see what I am talking about. It is on both side but the left hand side is much worse for the hair loss.
