I have a scar from a brow lift on both sides of my head. I wear my hair short(military style), so you can see the scar. The scars have healed (6 yrs ago since browlift), and both sides of the scar have feeling in them. I can feel something touching, scratching them. The scars are pretty flat. I want to know about the procedure to transplant hair into the scar (including associated costs, timeframe, etc.) I have very thick hair that grows quickly. I am 34 years old.
Hair transplants work very well in the scars of brow lifts by transplanting them directly into the healed wound. We do these with some frequency, as well as neurosurgical scars, which are often larger. The costs are generally between $3000-4000 for such repairs as it takes 400+ grafts depending upon length and width of the scars. Most of these surgeries take about 3-4 hours and the hair will grow within 6-8 months.
