Scalp Reduction

Scalp reduction is a surgical hair-restoration procedure performed by expert plastic surgeons at Australia Plastic Surgery. By removing targeted areas of balding scalp and closing the space with surrounding hair-bearing skin, this technique reduces the size of visible bald patches—especially on the crown—and creates a more natural, fuller appearance than grafting alone. Our specialists perform the procedure under local anesthesia with sedation, allowing patients to return home the same day. It is ideal for individuals with stable hair loss and good scalp elasticity, and most experience only brief downtime with temporary tightness or swelling before resuming normal activities.
