Abstract:
Forehead lifts are becoming increasingly more popular as an adjunct to facial rejuvenation. Considerable confusion exists as to how much the eyebrow should be elevated and how much scalp should be removed to achieve this goal. In an effort to evaluate this question, we have reviewed our recent forehead lift experience. These were done with forehead flap dissection down to glabella and supraorbital ridge, partial resection of corrugator supercilii, procerus, and frontalis muscles, and limited skin resection. We suggest that a natural-appearing, rejuvenating forehead lift should unfurl facial wrinkles without excessive eyebrow elevation. Technical maneuvers to obtain this goal are discussed.

The chair form is the most stable and derives its name from its resemblance to the “easy chair.” In the chair conformation, two carbon atoms are arranged out-of-plane — one above and one below, minimizing the torsional strain. In the chair form, the bond angle is very close to the ideal tetrahedral value,...
