“…These techniques can match the eyebrow hair flow and hair angle, but the low engraftment rate of transplanted hair remains a clinical challenge. In addition, these methods are often not applicable when the transplant bed and surrounding tissue have also been lost, such as after extensive resection of a malignant tumor [ 1 ]. Although subcutaneous island flap [ 2 ] and superficial temporal artery flap [ 3 ] have been reported as flap-based eyebrow reconstruction methods, they result in so-called ‘toothbrush’-like reconstructed eyebrows and are inferior in terms of appearance because of the thick hair and large skin angle [ 4 ].…”

We herein report a novel technique for managing large forehead skin defects that include the eyebrows and upper eyelid. Case 1 was of a 55-year-old woman with an eccrine carcinoma (T2N0M0) at the right forehead, resulting in a skin defect 15 cm in diameter. Case 2 was of an 81-year-old man with a malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (T1a N0M0) at the left forehead, resulting in a skin defect 18 cm in diameter. A pedicled temporal hairline flap and free forearm flap were combined and placed on the defect, and good eyebrows and forehead morphology was ultimately achieved.

“…Hair-bearing composite grafts and superficial temporal artery island pedicle flaps have been described to successfully achieve eyebrow restoration. 3,4 For our patient with a moderately sized, full-thickness, horizontally oriented lateral eyebrow defect, we performed a banner transposition flap that used a superolateral tissue reservoir incorporating the intermediate hairs of the temporal hairline to repair the defect and restore the eyebrow.…”
