Prior to my tummy tuck some of my pubic hair had fallen out and did not grow. I assume this was due to the overhang of excess skin which rubbed on my pubic bone. Will it grow again? Is there anything I can do to encourage it to grow? I am 56 years old.

Answer: Pubic hair loss after tummy tuck Rubbing from skin excess is not known as a cause of hair loss in the pubic area, and we feel the thinning and loss is more likely due to age, a very common occurrence. It is doubtful that the hair will grow back now that you have completed a tummy tuck. Best of luck, peterejohnsonmd

Answer: Tummy tuck
If you are already having some hair loss before surgery, it is unlikely that that lost hair will come back. It is just the natural aging process.
There is really nothing that can be done at this stage to encourage hair growth in that area. Usually it is not recommend to use any skin creams, or medications that promote hair growth in that area. There are no surgical procedures that many physicians would recommend.
