My Hair Fell Out After Brow Lift Surgery and Regrew With Different Characteristics

(female)
Dr Rassman,

After having a brow lift type surgery ( no lift but same incision ) a lot of hair all over my head fell out. What grew back were strange hairs. Some are very fine only about 3 cm long, and look crimped. Others are thick coarse hairs that look like afro or pubic hairs. Together these hairs are all over the crown and have been growing this way for about 4 years now. My Dr said these hairs have nothing to do with the surgery but they all started a few months after the surgery.

I am 99 % convinced that they are related and would appreciate any information you might have. Also some of the coarse hairs have are less so closer to my scalp, that would indicate that time is possibly helping a bit. The very fine ones have not changed.

With Kind Regards

I have not seen this type of change associated with a brow lift incision. I have seen hair loss with a finer hair appearing in front of the brow lift incision, but I have not seen someone change variable parts of the scalp hair and not other parts. I would have to examine you to make sense of the process you are discussing. The use of good conditioners after washing should minimize the kink in the hair.
