Scalp flap surgery is a procedure in which an entire segment of permanent hair-bearing scalp is excised, rotated and resutured into a bald area.
This is a relatively uncommon and invasive surgery and it is performed by very few surgeons nowadays.
The risks include improper hair direction at the hairline, visible scars at the hairline, as well as the more serious risk of partial or complete loss of survival of the flap and the hair within it.
We, at Dr. A's Clinic, do not recommend scalp flap procedures.
