Forehead flaps effectively reconstruct periorbital defects, offering excellent functional and aesthetic outcomes. This reliable method ensures good globe coverage and lacrimal drainage, with minimal complications.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Ophthalmology
  • Reconstructive Surgery

Background:

  • Periorbital defects pose significant reconstructive challenges.
  • Forehead flaps are a versatile option for facial reconstruction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate functional and aesthetic outcomes of periorbital defect repair using forehead flaps.
  • Assess the reliability and effectiveness of paramedian forehead flaps in periorbital reconstruction.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 18 patients undergoing periorbital defect repair.
  • Paramedian forehead flap used alone or with other grafts.
  • Functional outcomes assessed by physical examination; aesthetic outcomes by visual analog scale.

Main Results:

  • Excellent globe coverage and lacrimal drainage system patency achieved.
  • Significant aesthetic improvement reported (mean 3.8/10 on VAS).
  • No fistula formation or eyelid retraction observed.

Conclusions:

  • Forehead flaps provide reliable, versatile, and technically simple reconstruction for periorbital defects.
  • Excellent cosmetic and functional results are achievable.
  • Particularly effective for defects involving the medial canthus and nasal structures.
