Hair growth in scalp scars after face lift

January 24, 2015
Asked By:Jenny in Whitby in Whitby, ON

I have a fairly wide scar on the top of my head, close to the brow and am concerned that hair may not grow back in this area. Does hair tend to re-grow in the scalp area if the skin is scarred? Thank you.
