Secondary Expansion of a Totally Replanted Scalp for Aesthetic Adjustment

Abstract
Total scalp avulsion is an uncommon and dramatic accident. Replantation is the only way for acceptable aesthetic final results. However, partial loss of tissue can result, and secondary procedures can be required. A total avulsion of a scalp involving the upper part of the right ear and both eyebrows was replanted after a long delay in our department. As a result, loss of a third of the hair-bearing area occurred. Secondary expansion of the replanted scalp achieved complete reconstruction.
