Do you have a bald spot after an endoscopic midface lift or brow lift?
Most people are not warned about this complication.
Hair thinning can appear near the incision sites because the tissues are lifted and secured under tension. When hair follicles are stressed or their blood supply is temporarily disrupted, “shock hair loss” can occur.
⚠️ The most important thing: treat it early.
The longer follicles remain inactive, the lower the chance of regrowth.
Early intervention can significantly improve recovery.
Treatment options that may help stimulate regrowth:
• Steroid injections to reduce inflammation
• Botox to decrease scalp tension
• PRP / PRF to activate hair follicles
• Microneedling with peptides or exosomes to support regeneration
Hair loss after facial surgery is uncommon — but when it happens, time matters.
Early treatment = better chance of restoring hair density.
