Aesthetic reconstruction of burn alopecia by using expanded hair-bearing scalp flaps.

Tissue expansion is one of the most important armamentaria for aesthetic scalp reconstruction after burn; however, the proper way to employ this technique for the scalp reconstruction usually presents a challenge to the plastic surgeon, especially in the case of a "sideburn" scenario or a large lesion, as with, for example, hemiscalp alopecia. In this article, 11 patients, with different degrees of hair-bearing scalp loss as a result of burn, and including four patients with hemiscalp alopecia were successfully treated by using tissue expansion. The results show that tissue expansion is a simple, safe, and efficient technique for aesthetic scalp reconstruction. Versatile design of the expanded scalp flap can distribute the expanded hair-bearing scalp properly in the reconstructed recipient site.
