Eyebrow reconstruction in the burn patient.
Eyebrow reconstruction in burn patients has been effectively performed in nine eyebrows in six burn patients. The results were excellent in seven of the eyebrows and satisfactory in the remaining two. In the authors' experience, the free hair transplants have had marginal results because of the scarred recipient site, and we recommend the island pedicle graft as an alternative, in selected cases, for facial burn reconstruction. Case summaries, details of the operative procedure, and illustrations are presented.
