Scalp & Forehead Reconstruction in Bangalore

Scalp and forehead reconstruction surgery in Bangalore by Dr. Dharmesh JB

Defects of the scalp and forehead can occur after trauma, burns, infections, tumor removal, or neurosurgical procedures. These areas are highly visible and functionally important, often involving exposed bone, implants, or vital structures. At Dr. Dharmesh JB’s Reconstructive & Microsurgery Clinic, we provide advanced scalp and forehead reconstruction in Bangalore with a focus on durable coverage, hair-bearing restoration when possible, and optimal cosmetic outcomes.

Using a combination of local flaps, regional flaps, skin grafts, and microsurgical free flaps, Dr. Dharmesh JB tailors reconstruction based on defect size, tissue quality, hairline preservation, and previous surgeries or radiation. The goal is safe wound closure, protection of underlying structures, and restoration of natural contour.

Indications for Scalp & Forehead Reconstruction

Post-traumatic defects: Tissue loss following road traffic accidents or crush injuries.
Burn injuries: Scalp or forehead tissue loss with scarring or exposed bone.
After tumor excision: Defects following removal of skin cancers or soft tissue tumors.
Post-neurosurgery defects: Wounds after craniotomy or implant exposure.
Chronic non-healing wounds: Previously infected or irradiated scalp wounds.

Reconstruction Techniques Used

The choice of reconstruction depends on the size, depth, and location of the defect. Our comprehensive options include:

Primary Closure: For small defects with adequate surrounding tissue laxity.
Local & Regional Flaps: Rotation, advancement, or transposition flaps to preserve hair-bearing scalp and achieve good color match.
Skin Grafting: Split-thickness or full-thickness grafts for superficial defects or when flap options are limited.
Free Flap Reconstruction: Microsurgical transfer of tissue for large, complex defects with exposed bone or implants.
Staged Reconstruction: Planned multi-step reconstruction for complex or irradiated wounds.

When Should You Consult a Specialist?

You should seek expert care for scalp or forehead reconstruction in Bangalore if there is exposed bone, persistent wound discharge, implant exposure, poor healing after surgery, or visible deformity. Early reconstruction helps prevent infection, protects the brain and skull, and improves long-term cosmetic results.

Our Treatment Approach

Each patient undergoes detailed clinical evaluation and imaging to assess tissue viability, blood supply, and underlying structures. Reconstruction is planned with attention to hairline position, forehead contour, scar placement, and long-term durability. Most procedures are performed in a single stage, while complex cases may require staged surgery.
