Can I Get A Frontal Hairline Advancement If I Had A Prior Coronal Scalp Incision?

Q: Dr. Eppley, Could a surgical hairline advancement be safely preformed via an incision at the hairline in the future if I had a behind the hairline coronal incision already made? If it’s possible without a risk of necrosis or tissue ischemia please let me know how long one would have to wait to have this done. Thank you.

A: No…that would be a very risky procedure for the very reason you have mentioned.
