What is CVG?

Cutis Verticis Gyrata (CVG) is a rare condition characterized by thickened, folded skin on the scalp that gives the appearance of a brain-like surface. Surgery is an option for individuals with CVG who desire improvement in the appearance of the scalp. The surgery aims to remove the excess skin and smooth out the scalp’s surface. A plastic surgeon typically performs the procedure, and it can be done under local or general anesthesia. The recovery time can vary depending on the extent of the surgery and the individual’s overall health. It’s important to consult with a qualified plastic surgeon to discuss the surgery’s benefits, risks, and possible outcomes.

How can you treat Cutis Verticis Gyrata?

Good hair and skin care are vital to preventing infection. We recommend a surgical procedure to tighten the skin and decrease the appearance of folds. During the surgery, an incision is made in one of the skin folds, and excess skin is removed. As a result, the scalp tightens, and the appearance improves significantly.

What are the
benefits of
CVG?

CVG helps improve your skin texture, reduce fine lines, and boost collagen production to help give you a youthful, glowing appearance.

Another is its ability to promote natural, long-lasting results. The therapy uses the body’s own regenerative potential, reducing the risk of complications. Additionally, CVG can enhance healing after surgery or injury by accelerating recovery time and reducing inflammation.

Who are the
best candidates
for CVG?

Candidates who may benefit most from CVG include:

  • Individuals seeking non-invasive cosmetic treatments
  • People with slow recovery after surgery or injury
  • Those looking for overall skin health improvement
  • Patients in good general health
  • Those who prefer natural treatments

What’s the
First Step?

The first step in addressing CVG is scheduling a consultation with Dr. Kassir at Kassir Plastic Surgery in New York City. Dr. Kassir will thoroughly assess your scalp, discuss your concerns, and determine the best approach for your treatment. Dr. Kassir will evaluate the severity of the folds and any underlying conditions using high-resolution imaging or scalp analysis.

What is the CVG Procedure?

In general, the procedure can be performed with local anesthesia. During a consultation, we will discuss each patient’s unique approach. Two symmetrical incisions are often made on each side of the scalp to tighten the skin symmetrically and avoid distortion of the hairline. Next, the area will be cleaned and numbed. The excess scalp skin is removed once the patient is comfortable and doesn’t feel anything. The incisions are closed with sutures or staples. We remove the sutures or staples in 2-3 weeks following the procedure.

CVG Recovery

After surgery, you’ll be monitored in our in-house recovery center, an exclusive, tranquil space designed for high-end post-surgical care. This space will allow you to have a smooth and restful recovery under professional supervision.

After your procedure, you can expect to see some mild swelling and discomfort, but your team at Kassir Plastic Surgery will provide detailed aftercare instructions to support healing and ensure optimal results.

What is Postoperative Care After CVG Surgery?

The incisions should stay dry for 24 hours. After the first day of surgery, the patient can shower and resume regular activity. The patient will follow up to remove sutures and staples two to three weeks after the procedure.
