Eyebrow Incision Approach for Aesthetic Reconstruction of Frontal Bone Fractures: A Case Series

Frontal bone fractures represent approximately 5–10% of all maxillofacial injuries, most frequently resulting from high-impact trauma such as road traffic accidents. The conventional treatment approach, typically involving a bicoronal incision, provides excellent surgical access but carries notable drawbacks, including visible scarring, alopecia, longer operative times, extended hospital stays, and a risk of facial nerve injury. In response to these limitations, minimally invasive techniques using eyebrow incisions—such as the eyebrow-split and suprabrow approaches—have emerged as effective alternatives that prioritize both function and aesthetics. These approaches offer sufficient exposure for fracture management while minimizing soft tissue disruption and enhancing cosmetic outcomes. This case series highlights the use of the eyebrow incision technique in the management of a frontal bone fracture, evaluating surgical accessibility, aesthetic results, and overall patient satisfaction. The findings support the viability of this approach as a safer and cosmetically superior alternative to traditional methods, particularly in select cases where extensive exposure is not required

Abstract

Frontal bone fractures represent approximately 5–10% of all maxillofacial injuries, most frequently resulting from high-impact trauma such as road traffic accidents. The conventional treatment approach, typically involving a bicoronal incision, provides excellent surgical access but carries notable drawbacks, including visible scarring, alopecia, longer operative times, extended hospital stays, and a risk of facial nerve injury. In response to these limitations, minimally invasive techniques using eyebrow incisions—such as the eyebrow-split and suprabrow approaches—have emerged as effective alternatives that prioritize both function and aesthetics. These approaches offer sufficient exposure for fracture management while minimizing soft tissue disruption and enhancing cosmetic outcomes. This case series highlights the use of the eyebrow incision technique in the management of a frontal bone fracture, evaluating surgical accessibility, aesthetic results, and overall patient satisfaction. The findings support the viability of this approach as a safer and cosmetically superior alternative to traditional methods, particularly in select cases where extensive exposure is not required
