After my eyebrow lift I was left with two quarter size divots and balding on my head. What happened? Dr would not give much information and I was very unhappy.

Answer: Hair loss after Browlift Hair loss after brow lifting is usually caused by tension on the skin at the incision fixation point. These incision spots are necessary in order to expose the underlying brow soft tissues and allow for introduction of fine endoscopes and dissectors. Hair loss is usually noted within several weeks after the surgery but may take longer to appear. In the initial stages I treat these patients with a lot of care and hand holding. That's because the hair usually grows back to it's normal pattern. If we want to get interventional during this time we have the patient use Latisse for several weeks. Once the patients are five to six months out I will resect the bald spot and close the wound in layers without tension

Answer: Bald spots and divots You likely had an endoscopic brow lift with some type of fixation of thescalp to the skull or periosteum( the layer above bone) . There could have been some erosion of the tissues from the fixation device being too tight. If this does not resolve by 6-7 months after surgery, get an opinion from your surgeon or a surgeon experienced with hair and scalp work.
