title: Bilateral temporoparietal flaps in the treatment of male baldness.
abstract: This article presents the bilateral temporoparietal flap method for treating frontal baldness. In this procedure symmetrical flaps 2.0-3.0 cm wide are moved from the hairy temporoparietal region to the frontal part of the head and joined in the middle. The surgery can be done simply with no delays and under local anesthesia. The hair on both flaps grows upward, but it covers the top of the head to give it a thick feeling.
