Is it possible that hair transplant may damage the frontalis muscle and effect the elevation of the eyebrows?

Hello and thank you for your question. If the hair grafts were placed too close or the angling wasn't quite right, yes it could cause damage to the frontalis muscle. If you are experiencing this I suggest contacting the surgeon who performed your transplant for advice. Best of luck to you.

If the placement of hair grafts too close to the hairline or incorrect angling of the incision during implantation can cause damage to the nerves or blood vessels that supply the frontalis muscle. This can result in temporary or permanent weakening of the muscle, which may affect the elevation of the eyebrows. It is important to choose a qualified and experienced hair transplant surgeon who can carefully plan and execute the procedure to minimize the risk of any potential complications, including damage to the frontalis muscle.
