AB Hair  transplantation  has  been  performed  since  the  1960s  for  the  treatment  of  androgenetic  alopecia.  The  technique  of  follicular  unit  transplantation  (FUT)  provides  consistently  natural  appearing  cosmetic  outcomes  for  patients  with  this  condition,  and  the  majority  of  patients  who  seek  consultation  for  hair  restoration  are  seeking  treatment  for  thinning  hair  as  a  result  of  female  or  male  pattern  hair  loss.  However,  there  is  a  subset  of  patients  who  require  special  consideration  for  hair  restoration.  In  this  chapter,  we  describe  hair  restoration  surgery  for  scarring  alopecia  and  corrective  hair  surgery.
