11. Scalp Lifts :: Posted Thursday, May 24, 2001 by admin ::
This procedure is a more radical form of scalp reduction allowing for further reduction in fewer operations. Some physician assert that, in most patients, one scalp lift can provide the same results as three or more scalp reductions. A scalp lift is a surgical procedure that combines the removal of a patch of bald scalp from the top and back of the head, followed by an upward movement and stretching of the surrounding area of hair-bearing skin to close the opening. The procedure involves extensive undermining (loosening) of the skin at the back of the neck and on both sides of the head to allow the hair-bearing skin to move easily upward. Scalp lift procedures are normally performed under general anesthesia. The procedure takes one day, but some surgeons re-route blood vessels away from the surgical site a few weeks before the scalp lift. A successful scalp lift creates the most dramatic results of all hair replacment methods.
