Question:
How is Scalp Advancement surgery performed?
Answer:
Scalp Advancement surgery is performed under general anesthesia. An incision is made following the natural hairline. Doctor Ousterhout’s unique approach is to make the incision in such a way so that the underlying hairs will grow through the scar, thus hiding it.
