Nerve Damage in Donor Area From Face Lift Causing Hair Loss?
I had a face lift in Aug. 2005. By his own admittance, the doctor has damaged nerves behind my ears and neck area. In addition, my healing has caused keloids, which he cleaned up once in April, but re-healed the same. I have had, and still am having a lot of hair loss.
Has the nerve damage caused less blood to flow to the scalp?
The damage has caused numbness, a sense of cold, and a sense of ‘strangling’ in my neck. I’m not sure if this can be re-paired?
The main question has to do with hair loss.
Thank you.
Your problems are clearly not simple and therefore I would require an examination of you with and would require more detail in your history. Keloids in the scalp are very, very rare. Nerve injuries should not impact blood flow to the scalp. Stick with your doctor if you believe that he/she is competent and has your best interests at heart.
