Is my brow lift ruining my hair transplant? (Photo)

Question

I’m 10 months post-op with a transplant to the corners. Three months ago I had an endoscopic browlift and there is still scarring. The transplant doesn’t look dense at all so I was wondering if this is due to the transplant being a failure or the browlift creating scar tissue and shock loss.

Randal Haworth, MD, FACS · Answer

Hair transplantation to the corners of the hairline is typically done to restore hair density in areas that are affected by receding hairline or thinning hair. The success of the hair transplant depends on various factors, including the skill of the surgeon, the quality of the donor hair, and the individual's healing process.

Endoscopic browlift is a cosmetic surgery procedure that lifts the forehead and brow area to create a more youthful appearance. Like any surgery, there is a risk of scarring and other complications.

It's possible that the scarring you are experiencing is a result of the browlift procedure, or it could be related to the hair transplant. In some cases, there may be a period of temporary hair loss or shedding after a hair transplant, which is known as shock loss.

It's important to consult with your surgeon to discuss your concerns and determine the cause of the scarring and density issues. They may be able to offer additional treatment options or recommendations based on your specific case.

Best of luck!
