Facial burns represent between one-fourth and one-third of all burns. Absence of the eyebrows or distortions in their position alter the character of the face. Thus, eyebrow repair or reconstruction can be an important "finishing touch" in the overall reconstruction of a burned face. Generally, there are three ways to reconstruct the eyebrow: use of superficial temporal artery island flap; composite graft from scalp; and mini or micrografts from scalp. This report presents 20 patients reconstructed with the above techniques. Eleven patients (eight male and three female) with superficial temporal artery island flaps; seven patients (two male and five female) with composite grafts from scalp; and two patients (female) with minigrafts. The results suggest that superficial temporal artery island flaps were more suitable for males and composite graft for females who generally require thinner and less dense eyebrows. Our experience with minigrafts for burn alopecia has not been adequate. Here in this article, different methods of eyebrow reconstruction are presented with the greater emphasis on superficial temporal artery flap.
