Local Flaps for Concomitant Reconstruction of 3 Adjacent Forehead Defects: Is It Feasible?
The cornerstones of forehead reconstruction are the provision of adequate skin paired with a satisfactory cosmetic outcome without hairline and eyebrows distortion. Several techniques have been described over the years to reconstruct sizable defects. Currently, an individualized approach, based on the patient's medical status and needs, the defect characteristics, and the local tissue quality and availability, should be considered for an optimal outcome. This case exemplifies the reliability of local flaps' combination to reconstruct concurrently 3 adjacent forehead defects, should innovative thinking and adequate planning be applied.
