“…Local flap can provide hair-bearing skin flap similar in texture and color of the chin, but the amount of available skin in this region is limited 12. Hair transplantation can restore the hair of beard but the scars around the chin cannot be cured 13. However, by using the tissue expansion technique, sufficient hair-bearing scalp flaps can be harvested for defect coverage and beard reconstruction.…”

Background: Loss of beard in adult male caused by severe burn may cause cosmetic and psychological problems for these patients. Reconstruction of the beard with hair-bearing skin flaps in similar color and texture of the surrounding tissues remains a challenge. Methods: Eight male patients suffered from submental postburn scar and beard loss were treated by using the hair-bearing expanded scalp flap. A 1000 mL nephroid tissue expander was first implanted under the frontal and mid scalp. After a 3 to 4-month tissue expansion, the expanded hair-bearing scalp flap based on bilateral superficial temporal vessels were raised and transferred for beard reconstruction, and the cutaneous pedicles were curled into tubes. Delay and division of the pedicles were performed 3 to 4 weeks after flap transfer. Results: Eight male patients with postburn scar and beard loss were successfully treated with no major complication. One patient suffered from edge necrosis at distal end of the flap and healed after daily dressing change. Chin and submental areas were repaired by expanded scalp flap and total beard was reconstructed at the same time. All donor sites were closed directly without skin grafting. Conclusions: The modified expanded bipedicled scalp flap provides an easy and reliable way for total beard reconstruction and large-scale submental scars repairment.

“…The submandibular or jawline region gets concealed in the shadow area, thus minimal grafts are required there. 5 FUE techniques have largely replaced traditional follicular unit transplantation. Scalp hair transplants usually bear fruitful results on the face with high regrowth percentage.…”

Facial scars in hair-bearing areas are a difficult problem to deal with owing to the nature of the scar tissue and the poor survivability of the grafts. A 26-year-old male presented with a scar on the right cheek area. The patient complained of recurrence and widening of scar and resultant facial asymmetry after serial excision in another hospital. The scar was the result of a burn injury sustained 15 years back. The scar was managed by using 2,642 hair grafts harvested from the scalp area. The patient had excellent hair growth at the end of 1 year with a high satisfaction level. There was a visible improvement in the lip deviation. Restoration of hair in the hair-bearing region of the face may be considered a permanent single-stage solution in such patients.

“…The beard is a sign of masculinity. 4 An abnormal beard or the lack of a beard can result in an unnatural look and impair men's self-esteem. 5 Therefore, the beard is considered to be an independent facial unit.…”

The forehead flap is widely used to repair facial defects. The traditional method would transfer some hair to the recipient area, where the reconstructed beard lies in a misplaced position. The authors designed a reversal forehead free flap method that transposed the flap to 180 degrees, rebuilding the reconstructed beard in the normal position. In addition, the authors used the frontal branches of the superficial temporal vessels on both sides to anastomose with the contralateral parietal branches to lengthen the pedicle and avoid ischemiareperfusion injury. Level of Evidence: 4.
