Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Microsurgery
  • Reconstructive Surgery

Background:

  • Eyebrow reconstruction presents unique challenges due to the distinct nature of eyebrow hair.
  • Existing surgical methods for eyebrow defects have limitations.
  • The use of free flaps for eyebrow reconstruction has not been previously documented.

Observation:

  • This study reports the first use of an eyebrow free flap for reconstruction.
  • A supraorbital artery perforator free flap was successfully employed to repair a large eyebrow defect.

Findings:

  • Microvascular eyebrow transplantation, utilizing the supraorbital artery perforator free flap, is a viable and effective method for reconstructing extensive eyebrow defects.
  • This technique offers a novel solution for complex cases.

Implications:

  • Eyebrow free flaps should be considered a valuable addition to the reconstructive surgeon's armamentarium.
  • This approach expands options for patients with significant eyebrow loss.
  • Further research into microvascular eyebrow transplantation techniques is warranted.
