Does a hairline lower surgery cause scarring risk? (photo)

Yes, a hairline lowering surgery can cause a scar. In this example, an unusually bad scar resulted. I say unusual, because incisions that are horizontal on the forehead tend to heal well. I suspect that this man had either unusual tension as the advancement was closed by the surgeon (most probable cause) or this particular patient had scarring tendencies.  This can be fixed with hair transplants, either FUE or FUT; however considering the degree of scarring, FUE might be a better choice. The surgeon who does this better have a great deal of experience when designing the hairline to repair this problem as a poorly designed hairline will just add to this man’s misery.
