Question:
I had a facelift that left my hair line too far back. Can women get hair transplants? If not, is there any other way to replace my hairline?
Answer:
We have been performing follicular unit transplants in facelift scars and brow lift scars for many years. We have also transplanted to lower hairlines in women, and men for that matter, who have had a brow lift that has pulled the hairline so far back that they we left with a very high, unnatural hairline.
Follicular unit transplants grow very well in facelift scars and brow lift scars and are very successful in lowering the hairline.
What we do is place a significant number of 1-hair grafts over the temples and also over the hairline, then continue with 2-hair grafts and then 3 and 4-hair grafts behind that over the anterior frontal region. We have been very successful in pleasing our patients that have had a very high hairline, either due to surgery from a facelift or a brow lift or have had a congenital problem with always having a high forehead.
