Scalp flaps have been used for treatment of male baldness since the early 1980’s. Patients who are only bald at the front of their heads are ideal candidates since recreating the hairline is the major aim of this procedure. Scalp Flap Surgery involves moving entire parts of the scalp, which is still growing hair into a bald area. Although it is the most dramatic approach to hair loss, it can often result in a thick hairline being immediately created somewhere else on the head after just one operation. This treatment is most effective in patients who have a receding hairline only, rather than a “horseshoe” shaped bald area on the top of their heads. Private prices for Scalp Flap Surgery vary depending on the individual case, although you would normally be looking at paying well over £2,300 for a straightforward procedure.
