Abstract
Lack of pubic hair may cause suffering for pubescent and adult patients; thus, rapid and precise reconstruction is required for their mental health. We reported pubic hair reconstruction for burn alopecia using a free temporoparietal fasciocutaneous flap transfer with needle epilation. Fourteen months after the reconstruction, an acceptable aesthetic result was obtained, and our patient is satisfied with her reconstructed pubic hair. We conclude that reconstruction using a free temporoparietal fasciocutaneous flap with needle epilation is a useful method for selected patients.
