Concerns and knowledge 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 scared 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. Just

The fact remains in order to have a successful outcome from a scalp
reduction procedure; you must have a minimum three folds to the scalp. 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 hands, then you are not a candidate for a successful scalp reduction.
The BEST procedure for you is to go with the
New Micro/Mini hair follicular units (hair transplants) from the beginning. This will fill in the area that has hair loss to produce
a nice, natural look that no one can tell you have had anything done.
