“…5 When considering HRS for CA, it is important to evaluate the potential donor areas, scalp laxity, patient healing capacity, vascular supply, and quality of the subcutaneous tissue at the recipient area. 6,7 Both FUT and FUE can be performed to harvest HF from the donor area although the FUE method has become more frequent for HRS over the years. 8,9 Particularly in CA, follicles will be placed in scar tissue.…”

Cicatricial alopecia (CA) encompasses a heterogeneous group of conditions characterized by the permanent destruction of hair follicles (HF), and irreversible hair loss. CA is classified in primary cicatricial alopecia (PCA) and secondary cicatricial alopecia (SCA). PCA includes multiple inflammatory diseases that primarily affect and destroy the HF. SCA is the follicular destruction caused by infections, neoplastic conditions, burns, or trauma. 1 Although SCA is a benign condition, permanent hair loss can be devastating to the patient's self-esteem. 2 Hair restoration surgery (HRS) has been used as an option for androgenetic alopecia (AGA) and stable PCA with favorable outcomes. 3,4 However, little is known about HRS for SCA, especially to affected areas other than the scalp. This paper presents three uncommon successful cases of SCA treated with HRS.A 35-year-old Caucasian man presented with SCA on the left eyebrow after a pressure injury due to prolonged hospitalization in the prone position. Follicular unit excision (FUE) was performed to harvest follicular units (FU) from the left parietal area. A total of 120 FU of one and two hairs were implanted on the eyebrow, using a 0.65 mm

BACKGROUND Follicular unit extraction (FUE) is becoming more popular in hair restoration. However, its potential for treating extensive scarring alopecia is unknown. METHODS Patients with scarring alopecia larger than 100 cm2 were enrolled from 2015 to 2018. After assessing scar quality regarding vascularity, pliability, and thickness, dense-packing megasession (DPM)-FUE was performed on high-quality recipient sites. Patients were followed up at 1 week and 12 months postoperatively to evaluate complications, survival rates of grafts, and patient satisfactions. Cases of nonscarring alopecia were reviewed as controls. RESULTS Fifty-two scarring alopecia and 55 nonscarring alopecia patients were enrolled. The mean scar area was 120 cm2, and the procedure required an average of 8 operative hours, with no difference between groups (p > .05). Graft amount and postoperative complications were similar as well (p > .05). The survival rate in scarring alopecia was lower than that in the control but was still 85% (p < .05). Follow-up photographs showed effective scar camouflage after DPM-FUE. Most patients were very satisfied with the final results (p > .05). CONCLUSION DPM-FUE is a safe and effective treatment for extensive scarring alopecia.
