Summary:The forehead is the protective helmet of the brain, if we refer to the etymology of the word calvaria. Destroyed, it must be rebuilt; priority is given to its bone infrastructure, even though we can live without it, as long as the other tissues (skin, muscle, aponeurosis, meninge) are intact.

Invitation to invent a true regenerative surgery.
