Scalp Flap Surgery is a surgical hair restoration procedure that involves moving a section of hair-bearing scalp to cover a bald area. This technique provides immediate coverage and is typically used for patients with large areas of hair loss that require substantial restoration.
The procedure begins with the surgeon identifying a suitable donor area with dense hair growth. A flap of this scalp is surgically lifted and rotated to cover the balding region. The edges of the flap are sutured into place, ensuring a seamless integration with the surrounding scalp.
Scalp Flap Surgery offers significant benefits in terms of coverage and density, making it a valuable option for advanced cases of hair loss. However, it requires careful planning and execution to minimize the risk of complications and ensure natural-looking results.
Recovery involves managing swelling and ensuring proper healing of the donor and recipient areas. With appropriate postoperative care, patients can achieve long-lasting results that dramatically improve their appearance and confidence.
