    TLDR The method effectively restores symmetrical and natural-looking hair in burn-affected areas.
    The study presented a simple method for reconstructing post-burn alopecia in the temporal and sideburn regions using tissue expansion, aiming to achieve satisfactory aesthetic outcomes with symmetry and near-normal hairline reconstruction. Conducted at Ain Shams University in Cairo, Egypt, the retrospective analysis included 29 patients aged 6 to 35 years, treated between February 2016 and May 2018. The method was evaluated through both objective and subjective analyses, demonstrating that the aesthetic results were satisfactory, symmetrical, and standardized, addressing a gap in previous literature that often overlooked the importance of hairline pattern and symmetry in these critical zones.
