What are the different types of hair loss and options to address them?

Diffuse Hair Loss or Thinning

The balding patterns in women differ from those in men; therefore, different procedures are often indicated to address concerns in women versus men. In women, most commonly a diffuse thinning pattern is seen, usually worse at the top and sides of the scalp. Wigs or hairpieces are often used to address diffuse hair loss or thinning. 

In some patients, hair transplantation can be implemented to increase hair density in an inconspicuous fashion using a patient’s own, naturally growing hair. Another pattern of hair loss that may be seen in both women and men is loss of hair in the temples as a result of poorly-executed incisions during a facelift. Hair transplantation can often be utilized in this scenario to improve the thickness and appearance of hair in the temples, as well as help camouflage a visible incision.

What is a forehead and brow lift?

Forehead and brow lifts are procedures used to alleviate drooping eyebrows and diminish forehead wrinkles and frown lines. With these surgeries, incisions are hidden within or behind the hairline, and the excess skin is removed to improve brow position and reduce the appearance of wrinkles.

There are many different techniques that may be employed depending on each patient’s anatomy and the severity of the problem. Dr. Sidle is highly trained and proficient in a wide range of techniques, so he is able to offer the one best suited to your individual concerns and goals.

What is a facelift?

First of all, we know that there may be some confusion with respect to all of the different terminology pertaining to facelifts and related procedures, so we will start by clarifying some of the commonly used terms:

“Facelift”: Often, we use the term “facelift” to refer to a combined “facelift & neck lift” surgery. This is a facial rejuvenation surgery that helps restore a youthful appearance to your face and your neck. To know more about this procedure visit this page.

Botulinum Toxin

How do botulinum toxins work?

Botulinum toxins, when used in small quantities, lead to highly specific relaxation of targeted muscle groups, which reduces or eliminates lines that contribute to a tired, angry, or aged appearance. In addition to improving the appearance of lines or wrinkles you already have, the use of botulinum toxins is thought to decrease the chance of forming new lines in the future.

Currently, there are a few different botulinum toxin products available, all of which work in basically the same way – blocking nerve impulses to temporarily weaken particular muscles that are responsible for creating wrinkles.

Chin and cheek injections, augmentation, or implants can be performed in Dr. Sidle’s Chicago office at Northwestern Memorial Hospital. Dr. Sidle, a plastic surgeon who specializes in the face, approaches each patient with overall facial harmony in mind.  Enhancing the contours of the chin and cheek will provide a more sculpted appearance and a more balanced profile.

If you opt for injections, the results may last between six months and two years depending on the type of material used. This is often a good option for patients who are interested in augmentation but are not yet ready for a surgical procedure.

Upper and Lower Lid Blepharoplasty Surgery

Blepharoplasty (or eyelid surgery) is the procedure that improves the aged appearance of the eyelids. It may be performed on both the upper and lower eyelids to remove excess skin and protruding fat.

Upper lid blepharoplasty surgery will remove the excess fat and wrinkled, drooping skin of the upper eyelids that can make you look tired or sad. Fat and skin are removed through a well-hidden incision placed in the upper lid crease, which is a natural fold in the skin.

If you’ve been considering changing the shape of your nose, you’re not alone. A nose job (or rhinoplasty) is a ubiquitous cosmetic surgery, as the nose is a very defining facial feature. Because it protrudes from the face, it’s incredibly noticeable and heavily affects what the rest of the face looks like. When it comes to searching for where to get your nose job done, you might be tempted to go wherever offers you the best deal. Most people will want to get the most bang for their buck.

Are you hiding behind bangs or hats because you’re unhappy with your hairline? Does it seem like your hairline has changed more than you’re comfortable with when you look in the mirror?

You’re not alone

The space between the hairline and eyebrows averages about 5-6.5 centimeters. Hair loss or other causes may widen that space, and not everyone is comfortable with that. Although everybody’s forehead is as unique as their face, some appear larger than others for various reasons. Some people feel like their forehead doesn’t compliment that aesthetics of their face. Or doesn’t match how they feel inside. Read more here about Complete Guide to Understanding Hairline Lowering Surgery
