The procedure, developed about eight years ago in Canada, is performed in a doctor's office under local anesthesia. The plastic surgeon or dermatologist makes an incision in the crown and then tugs firmly on the scalp, pulling hair-covered areas from the sides of the head toward the bare area on top (see diagram).
