[Double flap method in the frontal and temporal area to cover larger defects left by surgery].
Regional flaps are often necessary to cover defects left after operations in the forehead and temple area, since the skin of the scalp does not stretch well and because of the likelihood of dislocation of the eyebrow. We find the double advancement-flap technique using curving incisions of great use in this area. These curved flaps margins follow the wrinkles of the forehead and the relaxed skin tension lines. This contributes to easy healing and inconspicous scars. At the same time undersired facial asymmetry or disturbance of expression can be avoided.
