The authors study the practical aspects of head and neck expansion: choice of material, choice of flaps obtained by skin expansion. They then examine the specific features of expansion in this anatomical region, where it is frequently used, with emphasis on preservation of aesthetic units and the specificities of skin hair and natural orifices. Scalp expansion in the context of baldness is discussed in a separate article.
