  • Title: Cosmetic correction of alopecia.
    Author: McCray MK, Roenigk HH.
    Journal: Am Fam Physician; 1983 Oct; 28(4):207-14. PubMed ID: 6637734.
    Abstract:
    The punch autograft method of hair transplantation has been the mainstay of hair replacement for 25 years. Recently, scalp reduction has emerged as an adjunctive procedure to eliminate bald areas. The procedure is done in the outpatient setting and has been extremely successful in cases of traumatic injury to the scalp, as well as congenital and scarring alopecia. Temporal transposition flaps of hair-bearing scalp should be carried out by surgeons with expert training.
