Can a forehead reduction lead to hair loss or hair thinning?

April 26, 2015
Asked By:katerina27 in Mexico, MX

I heard that by "streching" the skin on the forehead, less blood goes to the hair follicules and that can lead to a lot of hair loss and thinning. Is this true?? I already have quite thin hair and my biggest fear would be to have even thinner hair after the surgery.
