What is Scalp Reduction?
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.
Why Consider Scalp Reduction?
- Reduce the size of bald area significantly.
- Complement hair transplant by reducing the area needing coverage.
- Permanent result — removed bald scalp does not return.
- Suitable for patients with significant crown baldness.
- Reduces number of grafts needed in subsequent hair transplant.
Dr. Jain’s Approach
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.
Recovery & Aftercare
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.
