Abstract
The upper third of the face is composed of the eyebrow, forehead, and scalp. These anatomic units play a significant role in an individual’s appearance and relationship to society. Facial burns should be definitively managed only after the patient is stabilized from the acute burn insult. At this point, successful aesthetic and functional repair can be achieved through an individualized approach employing the reconstructive ladder. Standard plastic surgical techniques encompass grafts, flaps, and tissue expansion.
