S235: Management of the Anterior Neck in Facial Rejuvenation

The document discusses hair transplantation and micrografting as effective cosmetic procedures for facial enhancement, based on the principle of "Donor Dominance" established by Dr. Norman Orentreich over forty years ago. It explains that hair grafts from the back and sides of the scalp can grow on the front and top of the scalp for a patient's lifetime. The paper emphasizes the importance of understanding male pattern baldness, which is genetically and hormonally controlled, to identify suitable candidates for hair transplantation. The procedure's success relies on careful staging for optimal blood supply, appropriate hairline placement, and the use of micro and minigrafts for a natural-looking result. The document also notes that meticulous postoperative care ensures nearly 100% graft survival. The references listed date from 1979 to 1998, indicating the historical context of the research.
