I had an endoscopic brow lift approximately 2yrs ago, and now my hair has started to fallout in the area of the endoscopic surgery. I am also experiencing extreme tightness and a burning sensation under the scalp in this area of the surgery with hairloss. What can I do to stop this from occuring? Does this mean that there is nerve damage? Is there medication that I should review with my physcian that could alleviate the painfull sensation under the scalp and hopefully stop the hair from falling out? …Help!

Scarring and hair loss from a brow lift is something I see often. I may see more of this problem, not because it is common, but because I specialize in this problem. Hair loss and detectable scars are amongst the problems I treat. Small nerves are cut with certain types of brow lifts and these small cutaneous nerves which can produce pain usually disappear in less than a year (usually weeks to some months). Minoxidil may help hold the hair that is presently falling out. You might want to see me considering that you are in San Diego and Beverly Hills is only a couple of hours away.
