The eyebrow is one of the five aesthetic sub‐units of the forehead and it plays a key role in communication and facial expression. Reconstruction of this region can be challenging. Several methods have been described, mostly based on the size of the defect and on the part of the eyebrow that they involve. We describe our experience in 48 patients underlining the importance of a surgical algorithm for repairing eyebrow defects. J. Surg. Oncol. 2015;112:603–609 . © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
