Did you mean Rotation Flaps?

GlossaryRotation Flaps

surgical technique moving scalp tissue to cover bald spots

Rotation flaps are a surgical technique used in reconstructive procedures, including hair restoration. This method involves creating a semicircular incision around a bald area and then rotating a nearby section of hair-bearing scalp to cover the bald spot. This technique allows for the redistribution of hair to achieve a more natural appearance and is particularly useful in cases where other hair restoration methods may not be viable.
