Daughter Was Burned, Had 2 Expanders in Her Head
I have a 9 year old daughter that was burnt as a baby. She has had two expanders on her head. There has been great improvement. However, there are still few spots that are bald and there is no hair. Is there any solutions available, as the hair is quite thin and probably no more expanders will be recommended. I would greatly appreciate any guidance you can provide. regards
Excising a scarred area and using expanders to provide more flexibility with flaps, could create a drastic improvement. If there are still some bald spots in your daughter’s scalp, they might be filled through hair transplantation. A hair transplant could be used successfully in the selected thinning area to give more coverage in areas that are cosmetically more important, but you need to be evaluated by an expert. The first place to start is back at the doctors who did the expanders for her. I would be happy to see her, but you need to be in or near California for easy access to me. In this case, photos will not be adequate and a personal examination is needed.
