Forehead Lift Caused Hair Loss - What Are My Options?

I am a 52 year old female. A little over 1 month ago I had a forehead lift which left me with a bald spot around the front forehead incision line. The area is approx. the size of a quarter which is mostly in front of the incision line but extends slightly behind as well. The surgeon states she is unsure why this area lost hair. She says she has not had this happen with any other patients. I also have lost hair volume throughout my head. Is this a normal hair loss issue after a forehead lift and do I have any options that might help regrow the hair.

Hair loss is a potential complication of surgical brow lifting and forehead lifting.

There are several factors that can influence ones predisposition to losing hair following surgery and two primary patterns in which hair can be lost.

Technical issues related to the performance of the surgery can contribute to postoperative hair loss. Factors which compromise blood flow to the hair-bearing scalp set the stage for unexpected hair loss. Inadvertent disruption of the scalp’s blood supply, aggressive surgical cautery at the wound edge and excessive tension along the incision line are three of the most common causes of post-surgical hair loss.
