Scalp Reduction Surgery

Surgical removal of bald scalp with adjacent hair-bearing skin stretched and repositioned-used to reduce bald area prior to or alongside hair restoration.", "overview": "Scalp reduction-also known as alopecia or baldness reduction-is a surgical procedure that excises the bald scalp and mobilizes and stretches hair-bearing sections to close the gap. Ideal candidates have loose, elastic scalp skin and dense donor hair from the sides/back. Techniques include single-stage excision or multi-stage reduction combined with tissue expansion or scalp extension devices.

Recovery spans 1–3 weeks with full healing over months; hair regrowth and integration continue over time.
