Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the technical route and clinical application effects of correcting abnormal hairline position after rhytidectomy with hair transplantation.Methods:A total of 61 patients in this group were female. The age distribution was 28 to 65 years. Among them, 45 cases underwent forehead (with endoscopy) and mid-face rhytidectomy, 11 cases underwent forehead rhytidectomy (with endoscopy). 5 cases underwent mid-face rhytidectomy. The interval between rhytidectomy and hair transplantation ranged 6 to 79 months, with an average of 18.4 months. The hairline position and morphology of the frontal, temporal and sideburns were redesigned according to aesthetic theory. Hair transplantation was performed to correct the abnormal hairline. When the patients were followed up, the hair survival rate was calculated.The patient’s hairline satisfaction and the degree of concealment of the infratemporal hairline scar were evaluated by patient and a third party attending plastic surgeon, respectively.Results:25 cases underwent hair transplantation of frontotemporal hairline and infratemporal hairline, 23 cases underwent hair transplantation of frontotemporal hairline and 13 cases underwent hair transplantation of infratemporal hairline. All patients were followed up for 12 to 24 months. The hair survival rate of frontotemporal hairline was 94.3%[90.8%(51.1/56.3) to 98.9%(52.5/53.1)]on average.The hair survival rate of the infratemporal hairline, whose incision was inside the temporal, was 93.2%[89.1%(31.1/34.9) to 98.6%(34.4/34.9)]on average. The hair survival rate of the infratemporal hairline, whose incision was on the edge of the temporal hairline, was 81.2%[60.4%(17.2/28.5) to 87.6%(26.8/30.6)]on average. The average satisfaction score of the frontal-temporal hairline for the patients and doctors was 4.5 points and 4.7 points, respectively. The evaluation of the satisfaction of the infratemporal hairline was divided into two parts. The average satisfaction score of the patients with incisions in the hairline was 4.4 points from patients and 4.7 points from doctors. The average satisfaction score of the patients with hairline incisions was 4.0 points for patientsand 4.2 points for doctors. The scar concealment degree of infratemporal hairline scar was 3.7 points for patients and 3.9 points for doctors in average.Conclusions:Correcting abnormal hairline position after rhytidectomy with hair transplantation can achieve satisfactory result. Since the position of the infratemporal hairline and the low hair survival rate on the scar, the effect of scar concealing is average. Replanting hair grafts and improving the design of the rhytidectomy incision are the method to solve this issue.
