June 2026 in “British Journal of Dermatology” A 24-year-old woman developed lichen planopilaris (LPP), a type of scarring alopecia, after undergoing hairline-lowering surgery (HLS) for cosmetic reasons. Despite having no prior history of hair disorders, she experienced acute hair shedding and patchy hair loss post-surgery. A biopsy confirmed LPP, and treatment stabilized her condition.
