Abstract
A 41-year-old man suffered from an incompletely avulsed right eyebrow and forehead after a windshield injury in a traffic accident. Microsurgical techniques were used to revascularize the avulsed tissue of the right eyebrow and forehead with anastomosis of one branch of the frontal branch of the right superficial temporal artery. The revascularized eyebrow and forehead remained viable and provided a good cosmetic result. An aggressive microsurgical approach, either by direct arterial anastomosis or bypass with vein graft, should be encouraged in all incompletely avulsed tissue with inadequate blood supply in the face, hand, and foot.
