Scalp reduction applies the principle of staged excision to the alopecic area in male pattern baldness. Two to rarely five excisions are performed as outpatient office procedures under local anesthesia. The reduction greatly enhances the results obtainable by supplementary hair transplantation and may reduce or eliminate the need for it. A personal series of 30 patients is presented. Technique and expected results are illustrated. Complications and limitations of the method are discussed. Wider consideration of scalp reduction in the treatment of patients seeking hair restoration is encouraged.
头皮缩减术将分期切除的原则应用于男性型秃发的脱发区域。在局部麻醉下，作为门诊手术进行两到五次（很少为五次）切除。这种缩减极大地增强了通过补充毛发移植所能获得的效果，并且可能减少或消除对毛发移植的需求。本文展示了30例患者的个人病例系列。阐述了技术和预期效果。讨论了该方法的并发症和局限性。鼓励在寻求毛发修复的患者治疗中更广泛地考虑头皮缩减术。
