Ironically, the surgical procedures that many seek to achieve a more youthful appearance – such as facelifts and brow (forehead) lifts – result in scarring along the hairline, and sometimes complete loss of hair in some areas, such as the sideburns. Depending upon the experience and skill of the surgeon, cosmetic surgery scars may be discrete and not readily visible, or more obvious.
In his YouTube video – “Hair Transplants Into Scars from Plastic Surgery” – Dr. Barusco makes the following observations:
“Many patients come to me because they’ve had a cosmetic procedure – like a facelift or forehead lift – or skin cancer or an accident or burns, and now the scars are hard to hide. So a lot of times the incisions from a facelift are going to go either in front of the hairline. They start around the temples, depending if you have a lower lift, they’re going to be tucked in usually behind the ear. So this can affect your hairline around the ears – sometimes behind the ears … It depends on what you need and what your doctor is going to do for you. Sometimes, the doctor will make an incision in front of the hairline – sometimes behind the hairline – and it wraps around the ears. So when you go for your consultation for your facelift, ask your physician to tell you which technique he or she is going to use, because that can affect your hair in different ways.”
