The authors present their experience in surgical reconstruction of the forehead cosmetic unit, either with tissue expansion or free tissue transfer. Some of the cases underwent a full reconstruction of the entire cosmetic forehead unit en bloc performed by means of free forearm flap such as in postoncological exeresis and in post-traumatic reconstruc-
