Forehead Lift and Hair Loss in Female with Frontal Fibrosing Alpecia

I’m so fearful that I made a bad decision about having a forehead lift because I, too, am losing lots of hair from the top and sides of my head. I am 7 weeks out and panic struck because I am starting took bald around the incision. It looks like I have cradle a cap that is starting to come off and the surface is raw underneath. I’m using Silvadene on it. My surgeon keeps saying that it’s all fine, but I look horrible. The suture line has not healed yet. I do have a condition called Frontal Fibrotic Alopecia. Oddly enough, the hair transplants in the area are growing!

You are fortunate that the hair is growing since this disease can impact much of the frontal hair. Hair loss is not uncommon after any facial surgery in women.
