Does the scalp reattach to the skull after hairline lowering procedure?

Whether the surgeon uses an endotine or bone tunnel with suture fixation, the purpose of this step in the operation is to fix the scalp to the skull. This is performed several centimeters behind the new hairline to avoid tension on the hairline closure.

Hello,
The scalp is lifted in between 2 structures, the periosteum is the layer just over the bone and the galea. After the forehead advancement these 2 areas heal down to one another again. There is some numbness associated with this procedure but once this improves the scalp feels completely normal to patients.

It's attached and then lifted and then reattaches naturally. There is a healing process but in the end you are in a very good healthy place. Watch our videos to learn more. We do this here 4-5 times each week.
