    Serial expansion techniques created high-quality scalp and forehead flaps for reconstructing forehead defects. This method offers superior skin and subcutaneous tissue for optimal defect coverage.

    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Reconstructive Surgery
    • Dermatology

    Background:

    • Reconstruction of central forehead defects presents challenges in achieving aesthetically pleasing and functional outcomes.
    • Traditional methods may not always provide adequate tissue of superior quality for complex reconstructions.

    Observation:

    • A case study detailing the application of serial expansion for tissue harvesting.
    • Focus on creating scalp and forehead flaps with enhanced skin and subcutaneous tissue characteristics.

    Findings:

    • Serial expansion successfully generated flaps of superior quality skin and subcutaneous tissue.
    • The technique proved effective in covering a central forehead defect, demonstrating reconstructive potential.

    Implications:
