My sideburns are pretty much gone. It's now 5 weeks after facelift surgery. I had a hematoma the second day after the facelift which was surgically removed promptly. Will my sideburns grow back or is this now my permanent "look"? Thank you.

Answer: Sideburns after facelift surgery Whether or not your sideburns will return in a normal position depends how much skin was removed during your facelift and where your incisions were placed. Your surgeon is the best resource for what you can expect. It looks like you have hair follicles from your beard that will grow in that area. But if all the hair follicles in front of the ear were removed, then hair transplantation can be done to recreate the sideburn.

Answer: Sideburn Placement After facelift The answer depends on the incisional design. If the incision was carried straight up into the hair bearing temple, some hair bearing skin would have been removed and usually the hairline becomes elevated. If the incision was placed along the temporal tuft, the hairline is generally stabilized. It would be best to discuss the type of incision you have had with your Surgeon for clarity.
