Is There Hair Transplant Surgery to Anchor Posts to Attach Wigs or Extensions? Is transdermal anchors for extensions common?
Around 15-18 years ago, a system for bone anchors implanted in the skull and protuding above the surace of the skin was developed. A hairpece system which had female snap , snapped onto the protruding male snaps . This seemed to be a secure way to always get the hairpece in the same position and allowed the wearer to remove the system at night. This just did not become popular. Also, I would not recommend a suture attachment ( a typeof transdermal attachment) for a hair system although such approaches were done in the past. I am hesitant to recomend hair extensions as I constantly see damage to existing thinning hair from them. Of course, I may only be seeing the complications from extensions and there may be many people who have had no problems.
