Bilobed flap for reconstruction of wide-sized temporal forehead defect
We present the case of an 82-year-old woman with a basal cell carcinoma, whose excision resulted in a 6×4 cm defect, which was reconstructed using a bilobed flap. The aim of this flap was to maintain the aesthetic boundaries of the forehead, either keeping symmetry with the contralateral side with minimal distortion, or taking advantage of the best color match of adjacent tissue.
