The temporoparietal fascia flap has been extensively used in craniofacial reconstructions. However, its use for eyebrow reconstruction has been sporadically reported. We describe a successfully repaired hair-bearing temporoparietal fascia flap after traumatic avulsion of eyebrow. Temporoparietal fascia flap is a versatile tool and should be considered as a therapeutic option by all plastic surgeons.

eyebrow reconstruction with hair-bearing temporoparietal fascia
flap. The temporoparietal fascia flap was planned in such way that
the skin island was left on the flap of the posterior branch of the
superficial temporal artery. (C) Rotation of the hair-bearing
temporoparietal fascia flap to the eyebrow defect, before making the
