Can the scar from a brow lift incision at the hairline (not behind) be successfully concealed with bangs?

July 6, 2017
Asked By:mercer401 in Fairfax, Virginia

I need a brow lift, but I cannot afford to lose any hair. Can the incision be placed just in front of my hairline so that the scar will be covered by my bangs? Or will this scar be impossible to conceal? My hairline is fairly low. I would like to preserve the height of my forehead. Alternatively, will the incisions of a temporal brow lift inevitably lead to hair loss?
