PATIENT’S PROFILE
People who present a dysfunction or malformation due to genetic or traumatic causes such as tumors, accidents, scars…
PROCEDURE
Sometimes, the affected area can be very extensive and it is necessary to place a scalp expander. This involves putting a prosthesis with a valve under the healthy scalp. After a week, the serum is injected through the valve and the prosthesis is expanded, so does the scalp, until it is large enough for a second procedure, carrying out a scalp lift which will cover the alopecic area with healthy hair.
