What is a scalp reduction procedure?

A scalp reduction is a procedure which is performed under local anesthetic (or, sometimes, under general anesthesia), in which a large bald area of scalp skin is excised and the wound is sutured close. This leaves a scar on the scalp which must later be camouflaged by grafting directly into the scar.

We, at Dr. A's Clinic, do not recommend scalp reduction procedures.
