Scalp Reduction Surgery
Concerns and important information you should be aware of:
Scalp Reduction Surgery was a common
procedure years ago. However, clinics performing this procedure later discovered a common irreversible problem. The skin is elastic.
It is similar to a rubber band and can be stretched to an amazing degree. But just like a rubber band, it can also go back to its
original shape.
Many patients who had scalp reduction procedures discovered their scalp would stretch back to almost the same
size as they started with in the beginning. Sadly, this was a waste of money, time and pain for the patient.
Most of the time, this
"rebound effect" happened on patients with too tight of a scalp to begin with. These patients were not candidates from the start.
To
further compound the problem, the scalp was left with an indented scar that had to be implanted with grafts afterwards to cover up
the scarred area. It would often take more than one hair transplant session to fill in the scarred area.
With this in mind, patients
with normal to tight scalps should not get this procedure done, but rather just have hair grafts implanted right from the beginning
and they will be satisfied with their procedure.
The fact remains in order to have a successful outcome from a scalp reduction
procedure you must have a minimum of three folds of skin. You must take your hands on the right side and the left side of the head
pushing up with your hands and getting the three folds of skin between them. If you cannot get the three folds of skin between your
fingers then you are not a candidate for a successful scalp reduction.
The best procedure for everyone is the micro/mini graft hair
transplant procedure right from the start. This will fill in the area that has hair loss to produce a much nicer and more natural
look that will be virtually undetectable to others.
