Hair Restoration Surgery

In 2015, hair restoration surgery was used as a treatment to hide scalp scars, with techniques dating back to 1950 by A. J. Barsky and 1957 by E. S. Lamont. The surgery, performed under local anesthesia, relied heavily on the design of the hair transplant for successful outcomes and patient satisfaction. It was important for patients to understand that the procedure was a redistribution of hair, not a restoration to its teenage state. The surgery was also an option for burnt-out stages of primary cicatricial alopecia, particularly lymphocytic primary cicatricial alopecia. The consultation process was crucial for a good physician-patient relationship, successful procedure, and patient satisfaction.
