A composite hair-bearing and non-hair-bearing sideburn flap.
A versatile and dependable composite hair-bering and non-hair-bearing flap is described that allows for immediate reconstruction in the highly visible temple and preauricular areas. A combined hair-bearing and non-hair-bearing flap is transferred from the postauricular region to the area of the temple and laterally to the orbit. Modification of the flap by harvesting additional tissue from the posterior conchal region assures greater reconstructive potential and variability.
