Surgical Options for Hair Loss
Hair loss surgery is both a science – and
an art. It requires not only exceptional surgical
skills, but also the ability to re-imagine a
new hairline zone that complements your specific
facial features, age and lifestyle.
There are two main types of surgery for hair
loss - transplantation and scalp reduction.
- Hair
transplantation (microfollicular grafting)
refers to the surgical movement of permanent
hair from densely covered sites on the sides
or back of the head (grafts), with its roots
intact, to an area of bald or balding skin.
Hair transplantation is the only thoroughly
proven way to permanently restore hair to
thinning or bald areas of your scalp.
- Scalp reduction involves the surgical
removal of sections of a bald scalp. Elastic
devices then are placed under the skin
to stretch the hair-bearing scalp over these
areas. Today, this procedure is utilized in
only a very small number of patients.
