Summary
Endoscopic forehead rejuvenation significantly improves brow position and forehead aesthetics, with stable long-term results. Minor complications like paresthesia were noted in 50% of patients.
Area of Science:
- Plastic Surgery
- Facial Aesthetics
- Minimally Invasive Procedures
Background:
- Endoscopic forehead rejuvenation is a surgical technique to improve facial aesthetics.
- Long-term outcomes require objective and subjective evaluation.
Purpose of the Study:
- To analyze long-term objective and subjective outcomes of endoscopic forehead rejuvenation.
- To assess changes in brow position and patient/surgeon satisfaction.
Main Methods:
- Objective analysis of preoperative and postoperative photographs of 100 patients.
- Clinical measurements of eyebrow position and comparison with preoperative values.
- Subjective ratings from patients and the evaluating surgeon.
Main Results:
- Significant improvements in brow position relative to the orbital rim and brow arch form were observed.
- Postoperative brow position was elevated in 97% of patients, with 82% above the superior orbital rim.
- Common complications included persistent paresthesia (50%), itching (14%), and forehead irregularities (10%).
Conclusions:
- Endoscopic forehead rejuvenation effectively improves brow position, brow arch, and frown lines.
- The aesthetic improvements are stable with long-term follow-up.
- While effective, potential complications should be considered.
