From what I’ve seen, the scalp is detached from the skull in order to move it forward. Does it stay detached for life and does this have any affect on anything?

Answer: Hairline lowering Hello! Yes, the scalp is detached to move forward to lower the hairline but heals and reattaches quickly. It does not have any long term issues regarding the initial separation provided it is done correctly. There are, of course, other issues such as temporary scalp numbness, the visibility of the scar and possible weakness - temporary or permanent- that should be discussed. Good luck!

Answer: Scalp advancement surgery Yes, after the scalp is lifted and moved forward during the surgery, the scalp reattaches itself into its new position. The lift of the scalp is performed under the galia which makes the lift possible without bleeding.
