A simplified surgical algorithm for flap reconstruction of eyebrow defects

Eyebrows which are not strictly an extension of facial tissue, are specialized appendages of hair-bearing scalp, which are located in the upper part of the face, with the function of blocking the flow of the forehead sweat into the eyelids[1]. Furthermore, eyebrows play an important role in face expression and facial mimics by virtue of muscle contraction, including the orbicularis oculi muscle, the frontal muscle, the corrugator supercilii and the superciliary depressor muscle below the eyebrow.
