Facial aesthetics involve basic artistic principles that relate individual features to the face as a whole. These principles, such as balance and proportion, are key elements in the development of hair restoration surgery and can be applied to reconstructive procedures for the trauma or burn patient. This paper describes the application of anthropometric and artistic principles used in hair reconstruction. Attention has been directed to the procedures used to determine hairline contour and placement, and certain aspects of frontotemporal recession management. The frontal hair has a profound effect on facial balance because of the major role hair plays in framing and visually enhancing the face. The presence of frontal hair and facial framing also serves to retain a vital element of autonomy in appearance for the individual.

BACKGROUND: Photographs currently published or used clinically in hair restorative surgery vary greatly in positioning, lighting, posing, and technique. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this work is to aid in standardizing these variables and to review the necessary equipment and techniques required to achieve these goals. METHODS: Nine standardized views are shown. Also addressed is hairline depiction taking into account variable hair styles. CONCLUSION: Standardization is achieved with consistent reproduction of patient photographs in hair restoration.

Anchor scalp reduction.

BACKGROUND: Unsightly scars, stretch-back, and stretch atrophy are common complications of scalp reduction. OBJECTIVE: To remove as much bald scalp as possible while preserving normal tissue integrity (e.g., thickness, vascularity) and cosmesis. METHODS: Surgical innovations anchor scalp reduction I & II, use pericranial flaps as aids to facilitate maximal reduction while limiting postoperative distraction vector forces responsible for stretch-back, stretch-atrophy, and wide scars. RESULTS: Anchor scalp reduction I consistently results in fine barely perceptible scars. Anchor scalp reduction II enables maximal bald area reduction while minimizing the incidence of stretch-back and wide scars. CONCLUSIONS: Anchor scalp reduction I is a simple innovation recommended for suturing scalp incisions where the primary objective is a fine barely discernible scar, e.g., in plastic surgery or neurosurgery. Anchor scalp reduction II is preferred for hair restoration procedures where the primary objective is maximizing reduction while minimizing stretch-back and stretch atrophy.
