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.

You can try PRP treatments to salvage any hair follicles you may have left.  Alternatively you can consider FUE hair transplant to fill in the area.

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.
