Why do some doctors use the tissue expander for the hairline lowering procedure while others do not?

Asked By:little bear

I am not interested in the tissue expander for obvious reasons, but does its use prevent tension at the suture line or prevent possible shock loss? I would only like approximately 3 cm of lowering.
