Triple rhomboid flap for crown alopecia correction.
The triple rhomboid flap offers significant advantages over previously described methods for reducing vertex alopecia. The circular area of alopecia is converted into a hexagon. The hexagon is then excised and closed by rotation of three rhomboid flaps from the hair-bearing periphery. The specific indications for this flap are reviewed, the technical aspects are discussed, and illustrations are provided.
