Hair Restorations Sources of Hair
Methods of Attachment • 1) wax attachment • 2) tissue adhesive (cement) • 3) suturing • 4) needle embedding • 5) melted wax
General Directions • Use lengths of hair that are longer than required. • Width of hair patch should not exceed 1”. • Eyebrow & mustache should not exceed 3/8”. • Overlapping • Marginal Form and Position • Final Trimming and Shaping
Sideburn and Temple Crown of the Head • 1) rounded • 2) squared • 3) recessed
Eyebrow • Hair grows obliquely upward and outward. • Head: central plane of forehead • Body: lateral plane of forehead • Tail: lateral rim of the eyesocket • Greatest density is at the head and thinnest is at the tail. • Form and position is important. • Bilateral restoration should be done simultaneously.
