Bald-Scalp Reduction Surgery by Dr. Vicky Jain · Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeon
Scalp reduction surgically removes bald areas of the scalp and advances hair-bearing scalp to cover the defect — reducing the visible bald area. Used for patients with significant baldness on the crown who are not candidates for hair transplant alone.
Performed under local anaesthesia with sedation. Bald scalp excised. Surrounding hair-bearing scalp undermined and advanced to close. Can be combined with hair transplant in the same session or staged.
Return to desk work in 7–10 days. Sutures removed at 10 days. Mild tightness resolves in 3–4 weeks. Final result at 6 months.
