Abstract

The author studied the course and measured the length of the frontal branch of the superficial temporal artery in 30 normal subjects. 19 eyebrows were reconstructed in 11 burned patients using the scalp island flap based on the frontal branch of the superficial temporal artery. The results were satisfactory. The reconstructed eyebrows looked natural with wooly hair of the frontal hairline. This method can be used not only in male patients but also in female or pediatric patients.
