Pseudo-dense Hair Transplantation : Strategy of "Less Inside, More Outside" and Central Bulking with Curled Chest Hairs as Treatment for Scalp Scars

Copyright: © 2020 Journal of Cutaneous and Aesthetic Surgery..

Hair transplantation in areas of scalp scars is a clinical challenge. However, by creating the visual illusion of central bulking with the use of peripherally transplanted curled chest hairs, cicatricial alopecia can perhaps be cosmetically improved. In a case of a 34-year-old affected man, this strategic procedure was implemented with positive results, as the transplantation was successful, the scar was far less noticeable, and the patient was satisfied with the results. The "pseudo-dense hair transplantation" method can be applied to similar patients, noting that a more succinct procedure will need to be elucidated for the varying etiologies of cicatricial alopecia.
