Skin Grafts And Hair Loss
Posted: 02-22-04 14:41pm

My wife has lost a portion of her scalp after a head wound became infected. What are her options to enable her to resume hair growth on the affected area?
Thank you,

Hi there. I used to be an assistant for Dr. Carl shory at latham's hair clinic. They are located in birmingham and huntsville alabama. They have had several famous clientele, and for the period that I worked there, I saw why. I assisted in a surgery where a 16 year old girl had a chemical burn on her scalp. (it was pretty bad) Dr. Shory had reccommended that the girl let the burn heal first, and form a scar. When she came in, we all suited up and I sterilized her head with phisoderm shampoo. (it is a very sterile invironment) Dr. Shory then injected small numbing injections in and around the area to be worked on. (this was while the patient was watching a movie!!) the dr then cut the area out that would not regrow hair and sewed the area up in a way that there is not a scar. (i think he understiched-if that is a word) in a couple of weeks, we removed her sutures and you would have never known that anything had happened to her! She was a very happy camper.
I personally would reccommend them to my own family...And Dr. Shory is one of the most talented, interesting, and sweet men I have ever met!
