Abstract

Background

The hair transplantation has become widely popular aesthetic procedure. Hair transplantation being a relatively new field in maxillofacial surgery, several aspects raise issues and controversies. Follicular unit transplantation (FUT) and follicular unit extraction (FUE) are two commonly used and accepted techniques. Further, hair transplantation has been successfully used in correction of alopecia, cleft lip scars, post-burn or surgical scars, vitiligo and as an adjuvant to other maxillofacial procedures. Several maxillofacial surgeons have incorporated hair transplantation procedure into their aesthetic practice successfully. Sound knowledge of surgical technique, armamentarium and proper surgical planning are important for good results. A lot of debate has been there on minimum qualification for performing hair transplantation.

Purpose

The aim of this review is to highlight that an oral and maxillofacial surgeon can perform hair transplant surgery with perfection and can manage all associated complications with expertise.
