The eyebrow plays a crucial role in facial aesthetics and expression. Reconstructing an eyebrow defect remains a challenge due to the unique characteristics of eyebrow hair. While various advanced methods exist, we report the first documented use of a free superficial temporal artery flap for total eyebrow reconstruction. This case study describes a successful eyebrow reconstruction in a patient with a total eyebrow defect. The free superficial temporal artery flap provided excellent vascularity, texture, and hair growth, mimicking the natural eyebrow. Our findings suggest that the free superficial temporal artery flap offers a promising new option for reconstructing large eyebrow defects. This technique warrants further investigation in larger patient populations.
眉毛在面部美学和表情中起着至关重要的作用。由于眉毛毛发的独特特性,重建眉部缺损仍然是一项挑战。虽然存在各种先进方法,但我们报告了首次有文献记载使用游离颞浅动脉皮瓣进行全眉重建。本病例研究描述了一名全眉缺损患者的成功眉重建。游离颞浅动脉皮瓣提供了良好的血运、质地和毛发生长,模拟了自然眉毛。我们的研究结果表明,游离颞浅动脉皮瓣为重建大面积眉缺损提供了一个有前景的新选择。该技术值得在更多患者群体中进行进一步研究。
