Glossary Scalp Lifting

surgical procedure to reduce bald scalp area

Scalp lifting, also known as a scalp reduction surgery, is a cosmetic procedure aimed at reducing the area of bald skin on the scalp. During the procedure, sections of the bald scalp are surgically removed, and the remaining skin is stretched and repositioned to cover the area. This technique is often used in conjunction with hair transplantation to improve the overall appearance of hair density.
