Will the scar from a browlift be noticeable if I have a receding hairline?

Question:

I am 74 years old, male and in excellent health. I have used Botox for years to ease my crow’s feet and forehead wrinkles. These injections work just wonderfully but I desire a permanent solution now. My hair is receding; will the browlift  leave a noticeable scar due to my receding hairline?

Answer:

In men with a receding hairline, I do what is called a midforeheadbrowlift so that the scars are hidden in the natural horizontal creases of the forehead.  I have seen excellent results with this procedure.  You can see an example of this  procedure on my website in the browlift before and after section.
