| Abstract: | Five cases of partial eyebrow reconstruction using subcutaneous pedicle flaps from the ipsilateral eyebrow are presented. Proper use of this method will enable safe one-stage transfer of the skin and the eyebrow hair, preserving the natural hair direction and properties. It will also leave minimal scars and dog-ears. This method is especially suitable for the reconstruction of moderate- to small-sized eyebrow defects. |
