Forehead Reduction Surgery: Option for Reconstruction of Forehead Defects

The document discusses the use of forehead reduction surgery as a treatment option for reconstructing defects in the forehead, particularly in cases involving androgenetic alopecia and basal cell carcinoma. It highlights the importance of three-dimensional facial analysis in treatment planning, emphasizing the need for equal distances between the hairline, glabella, subnasale, and menton. The case study of a 48-year-old patient with androgenetic alopecia and basal cell carcinoma illustrates how forehead reduction surgery can simultaneously address aesthetic concerns and oncological issues by reducing the distance from the hairline to the glabella while excising the tumor.
