    surgical technique moving tissue with blood supply to another area

    Flap surgery, also known as a flap procedure or flap operation, is a type of surgical technique used to repair or reconstruct areas of the body, often involving the transfer of living tissue along with its blood supply from one part of the body to another. In the context of hair restoration, it involves moving a section of scalp with healthy hair growth to a bald or thinning area to improve hair density and coverage.
