Scalp Flap Surgery Advantages
Like bald scalp reductions, scalp flap surgery is rarely performed today, due to the superiority of follicular unit grafting. In scalp flap surgery, as many as 10,000 hairs are transplanted in a single procedure. The scalp flap is unique in its ability to create the densest hairline possible, in the shortest period of time. Unlike with hair grafting, the hair in a scalp flap begins to grow immediately. As with all other transplantation techniques, the hair continues to grow for a lifetime.
