Scalp Reduction Surgery is a specialized procedure designed to treat extensive baldness by removing areas of the scalp that no longer grow hair. This technique involves stretching the surrounding hair-bearing scalp to cover the excised region, effectively reducing the size of bald areas.
The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia. Surgeons make incisions along the balding area and remove a portion of the scalp. The remaining hair-bearing scalp is then stretched and sutured together to create a more uniform appearance.
Scalp Reduction Surgery is often combined with other hair restoration methods, such as hair grafting, to achieve a seamless and natural result. This combination ensures better coverage and improved aesthetics for patients with advanced hair loss.
Recovery involves mild discomfort and swelling, but most patients can return to normal activities within a few weeks. Proper aftercare and adherence to postoperative instructions are essential for optimal healing and lasting results.
