title: Free scalp flap surgery.
abstract: This paper describes a new method of creating a natural anterior hairline using microsurgical free scalp flaps. This operative method is a one-stage procedure and the new hairline has normal hair density and natural hair direction. The donor flap is raised mainly from the parietooccipital portion of the scalp. The method can be applied not only to cicatricial alopecia, but to baldness as well.
