Hair loss after a brow lift - are there chances of it still growing back 8.5 months after surgery? (Photos)

Question

Hi, I had a brow lift 8.5 months ago and I haven’t seen any significant change in my hair coming back, I do have thick curly hair for reference. I was wondering if I just need to wait longer or if I may have permanently lost my hair due to the scarring.

This is a scar and I don't expect hair to regrow in that area. Fortunately, it's readily addressed right in the office. A scar revision can be done, or a few hair grafts can be placed, to camouflage the area.
It's not so unusual for this to occur. Also, if you wanted just a bit more lift, the scar revision is a nice time to get that extra boost.

Based on your post, a photo in history, only hair transplants can effectively improve the appearance. Best of virtual consult with expect these to arrange from $5000-$12,000.
