I had a facelift last Sept and in Feb I noticed my hair has thinned to the balding stage. Is this permanent, caused by the facelift, or just temporary? What can I do to stimulate hair growth?
Hair loss around the scar after a face lift surgery is a common problem. Fortunately, it is one of the indications where a hair transplant procedure will help very nicely. You should first followup with your plastic surgeon for his opinion on the permanence of the hair loss, but as this has been a year already, I suspect that it may be permanent. If you are on the west coast, please consider paying me a visit in Los Angeles or San Jose, or if you can not easily drop by, send me good photographs and I will give you an opinion.
