AbstractExtensive scalp lifting is a relatively new technique for the treatment of alopecia. Because this technique involves the undermining of the entire occipitoparietal scalp down to the hairline of the nape, a significant anterior and medial advancement is accomplished with one operation. This case report describes a patient with a large surgically induced scalp defect that was reconstructed with the use of extensive scalp lifting in combination with coronal brow lifting--thus, the intermediate cosmetic deformity of the more commonly used tissue expansion technique was completely circumvented. Why this technique can be substituted for tissue expansion or multiple rotation-transposition flaps in certain cases in elaborated.
