How long before you can get a hair transplant after a lateral brow lift and mini facelift?

Question

I had a lateral brow lift and mini facelift 2 months ago, and now I'm interested in having a hair transplant. How long should I wait I have a hair transplant after lateral brow lift and mini facelift surgery?

Emrah Cinik, MD · Answer

Undergoing a hair transplant just two months after a facelift is generally not recommended.
There are a few important points to consider here, following a lateral brow lift and a facelift, the blood supply to the tissues in the treated area and the healing of scar tissue continue for months. Consequently, it takes time for the tissue to regain its normal elasticity. Since maintaining tissue tension is crucial after a facelift, it is advisable to wait at least six months.

Hello and thank you for your question. I would suggest you wait at least a year before you have a hair transplant after your latest procedures. Your latest procedure could cause shock loss of hair along your hairline. In your case, I think it's best to be more conservative and wait a year. Best of luck to you.

Hello I'm Dr. Wipawan Vathananai, a co-worker of Dr. Kulakarn Amonpattana, from BHI Clinic, Bangkok, Thailand. I would recommend you to wait at least 12 months after brow lift or facelift surgery because these surgeries can cause shock loss of the hair along the hairline for a while. The hair should recover from shock loss around 6-12 months after these surgeries.
