Can Visible Browlift Scars Be Treated?

Hi Emily,

Sorry to hear of your troubles.  One of the best ways to treat your concern of post-lift visible scarring is a procedure known as grafting of hair follicles.  It is possible to camouflage the scar by placing individual hairs in and around the scar to hide it very effective and restore your hairline.  One of the world's leaders in hair grafting is in your backyard, Dr. Alfonso Barrera.  I would suggest a consult with him.

Good luck,

This is a difficult problem.  The easiest solution would be to remove the scar and camouflage it with a more cosmetic closure and hair grafts.  But this would narrow the space between your brow and temple - which is already narrow.

considor revising a portion as a test with a trichophitic technique,  essentially beveling the insicion to allow the follicles to grow through the scar.

otherwise consider single hairgrafts

Revising a browlift scar can be difficult but not impossible.  Your scars appearance can be improved with a scar revision using the trichophytic approach allowing the root hairs to grow through the scar itself.  

Hi Emily,

You could benefit from a scar revision. I use a strong absorbable sub cuticular suture technique that minimizes widening of scar. This allows my incision lines to be almost invisible. Ten years should be long enough to allow for full excision of scar, but a physical exam should tell you for certain. Best wishes, Dr. H
