A preliminary report on a strategy for treatment of male pattern baldness: bilateral vertical flaps plus tissue expansion.
A strategy of surgical treatment for male pattern baldness has been conceived using a combination of flaps and tissue expansion. This strategy has been tested on ten cases and the results presented herein. Based on the early experience guidelines have been formulated which allow reliability and predictability of results, as well as selection of appropriate patients.
