A Larger Size of the Forehead Expander Can Reduce Donor Site Deformities and Acquire Better Outcomes After Forehead Tissue Expansion
The large-sized (150/200 mL) expander sited on the forehead was shown to have a slighter postoperative forehead change and better reconstruction effect. It is advisable to choose expanders with relatively larger sizes in the application of the forehead expand flap.
