“…3 A curvilinear incision of the flap along the frontal hairline and removal of the standing cone toward the glabella provides aesthetical scar placement while the rotational horizontal movement of the flap minimizes distortion of the contralateral eyebrow. 4 After consideration of the options, bilateral advancement flaps were chosen as a means of closure given sufficient laxity from the patient's bilateral temples. This required the creation of Burow's triangles and sacrifice of perfusion from the supratrochlear and supraorbital arteries.…”

“…In general, flaps in the temple region are more complex to perform. They displace less tissue due to the underlying convexity and may be less viable as they are less well-vascularized, as the plane of detachment must be more superficial to avoid damaging the facial nerve [ 20 , 21 , 22 ] ( Figure 5 ).…”

The forehead and temporal region are frequent areas of skin cancer development. After tumor removal, reconstruction must be performed, maintaining the frontal–temporal line of the scalp and symmetry of the eyebrows in an attempt to hide the scars within these marks or natural folds and wrinkles. Second wound healing and skin grafts generally do not produce an acceptable cosmetic result. When direct closure is not possible, the technique of choice is skin flaps. In the midfrontal line continuation of the glabella, there is a remnant of skin to be used as a donor area for local flaps; similarly, it occurs in the preauricular cheek, which can move toward the temple. In addition to the classic advancement and rotation flaps, the frontalis myocutaneous transposition flap is an excellent technique for closing defects which are wider than higher on the forehead. Its design is very versatile and can be performed between the two pupil lines at different heights depending on the location of the defect. On the other hand, the preauricular skin advancement flap with an infralobular Burow’s triangle is also an excellent option for reconstructing tumors in the temporal area.
