Abstract
Secondary cicatricial alopecia is the follicular destruction caused by infections, neoplastic conditions, burns, or trauma to the dermis. Hair restoration surgery has been used successfully as an option for androgenetic alopecia and stable primary cicatricial alopecia with favorable outcomes. However, little is known about hair restoration surgery for secondary cicatricial alopecia, especially to affected areas other than the scalp. A good surgical outcome may bring a remarkable psychosocial impact to patients with cicatricial alopecia. This paper presents three uncommon cases of secondary cicatricial alopecia successfully treated with hair restoration surgery.
