    TLDR Understanding facial anatomy and aesthetics is key for good functional and cosmetic outcomes after tumor removal surgery on the forehead and eyebrow.
    The document from 1987 discusses reconstructive surgery techniques following Mohs micrographic surgery on the forehead and eyebrow, focusing on minimizing cosmetic defects by aligning incisions with skin tension lines. It includes five case reports demonstrating various techniques such as advancement flaps and island pedicle flaps, and emphasizes the importance of eyebrow preservation, facial symmetry, and the natural appearance of hair-bearing areas. The authors conclude that understanding facial anatomy and aesthetics is crucial for achieving optimal functional and cosmetic results after tumor removal.
