    Glossary Advancement Flaps

    surgical technique moving skin to cover nearby tissue loss

    Advancement flaps are a surgical technique used in reconstructive procedures, including hair restoration. In this method, a section of skin and underlying tissue is moved forward to cover a nearby area that has lost tissue or hair, without completely detaching it from its original blood supply. This technique helps to maintain the viability of the tissue while providing coverage or hair density to the affected area.
