Abstract:
The frontalis musculocutaneous island flap offers advantages of immediate repair for small to medium-sized forehead defects (0.5-5 x 0.5-5 cm). Based on the supraorbital artery, the flap is both adaptable and dependable. Advantages of this flap include the ability to perform the procedure immediately and in one stage, rapid aesthetic restoration, minor donor-site morbidity, and technical ease. A clinical report demonstrating the use of this flap for repair of an electrothermal injury to the glabella is presented.
