    GlossaryHair-Bearing Flaps

    sections of skin with hair follicles moved surgically

    Hair-bearing flaps are sections of skin that include hair follicles and are surgically moved from one part of the body to another to restore hair in areas affected by conditions like alopecia or trauma. This technique is often used in reconstructive surgery to provide a natural appearance and coverage in regions where hair growth is desired but absent.
