Is there anything I can do to expediate hair growth in a bald spot caused by incision during my bilateral brow-lift?

I had a bilateral incision brow-lift 2 1/2 months ago. The top incision cause a large bald spot about the size of 2 quarters!. The Doc defines this cause as "stress alopecia". I really don't see any new growth! I can disguise it with a side comb-over, but I am really concerned. Can I has cortisone / seroid injections to jump start? (I have been using Bosley) Do I need hair plugs? Thanks for suggestions.

The photos are only partly helpful but you appear to have brow ptosis and would benefit from a browlift that does not add to a high hairline. A temporal browlift alone will not be adequate. Crow's feet are part of facial animation and no surgery works well on them so back to Botox,Dysport,etc....
