    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Dermatology
    • Regenerative Medicine

    Background:

    • Large scarred alopecia areas, often from thermal burns, present significant cosmetic challenges.
    • Hair restoration in scarred scalp tissue requires specialized techniques.

    Observation:

    • A 17-year-old male patient presented with extensive alopecia due to a thermal burn.
    • Forty square centimeters of scarred scalp skin were surgically excised over six sessions.

    Findings:

    • The scalp reduction technique resulted in excellent cosmetic outcomes.
    • No instances of hypertrophic or keloidal scarring were observed post-procedure.
    • This method serves as a viable adjunct to hair transplantation in challenging cases.

    Implications:
