Abstract

Routine incisions in the temporal area for rhytidectomy often remove hair-bearing skin anterior to the ear. This results in a cosmetic deformity, making the surgical intervention clearly visible. This is especially problematic for revision rhytidectomy or for patients with naturally high hairlines. This article describes a systematic approach to the temporal hairline and introduces a novel, hair-bearing, transposition flap that corrects iatrogenic loss of the preauricular tuft of hair.
