LATERAL SCALP FLAPS FOR INSTANT RESULTS IN MALE PATTERN BALDNESS

Abstract
A technique for reconstruction of the anterior hairline, with undelayed lateral scalp flaps, is presented. Unilateral and bilateral flaps have given excellent results in selected patients with a variety of balding patterns. The advantage of gaining instant hair of good density along the anterior hairline is one not provided by the free graft techniques. The continued high patient acceptance and the minimal morbidity encourage further clinical study of this method with cautious enthusiasm.
