Abstract

The purpose of this article is to address the techniques of reconstruction of the forehead and the temple trying to add an "aesthetic" dimension, as the fourth dimension introduced by Burget for the reconstructive surgery of the nose. Achieve "aesthetic" reconstruction is to have constant attention to details. This is how to choose the right indication depending on the age and the etiology of the defect. This is to place incisions to perfection. And it is to be humble and open oneself to criticism, always seeking to improve the quality of its results.

Keywords: Aesthetic; Cicatrices; Esthétique; Flaps; Forehead; Front; Lambeaux; Reconstruction; Scars; Tempe; Temple.
