Abstract: | Cicatricial alopecia is a common sequela of burns involving the head region. The authors present a case of an extensive form of cicatricial alopecia in an 18-year-old female patient who sustained a burn to the head at 2 years of age. The patient was treated with combined scalp reduction with the aid of tissue expanders and micrografting of the freely transferred, preexpanded deep inferior epigastric artery nonhair-bearing skin flap. The aim of this article is to show that hair transplantation on the freely transferred nonhair-bearing skin flap may be associated with infection and fat necrosis, and the end result is not satisfactory, as in the cases of hair transplantation on a normal bald scalp. |
