Summary
The coronal lift is an effective facial rejuvenation surgery that enhances appearance. Combining it with other procedures like canthopexy further improves results for a refreshed look.
Area of Science:
- Plastic Surgery
- Facial Aesthetics
Background:
- The coronal or frontal lift is a well-established surgical procedure.
- Facial aging affects the forehead, brow, and upper face, impacting overall appearance.
Purpose of the Study:
- To highlight the effectiveness of the coronal lift for facial rejuvenation.
- To explore the synergistic benefits of combining coronal lifts with other facial procedures.
Main Methods:
- The study focuses on the coronal lift technique.
- Discussion includes combination with canthopexy, midcheek lifting, and lower lid surgery.
- Exploration of applicability to endoscopic lifts and lateral brow/temple excisions.
Main Results:
- The coronal lift is a simple and highly effective method for improving facial appearance.
- Combined procedures significantly enhance rejuvenation and beauty-enhancing effects.
- Benefits are transferable to other techniques with mastery of details.
Conclusions:
- The coronal lift is a powerful tool for facial rejuvenation.
- Combination with other surgeries maximizes aesthetic outcomes.
- Mastery of technique is key for optimal results in various approaches.

01:14Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View
The superior view of the cranium shows the frontal and paired parietal bones.
The frontal bone is the single bone that forms the forehead. At its anterior midline, between the eyebrows, there is a slight depression called the glabella. The frontal bone also forms the supraorbital margin of the orbit. Near the middle of this margin is the supraorbital foramen, the opening that provides passage for a sensory nerve to the forehead. The frontal bone is thickened just above each supraorbital margin,...

01:22Sutures of the Skull
The human skull is composed of several bones that come together to protect the brain and support the structures of the face. The junctions where these bones meet are called sutures.
Sutures are immobile joints between adjacent bones of the skull. The narrow gap between the bones is filled with dense, fibrous connective tissue that unites the bones. The long sutures located between the skull bones are not straight but instead follow irregular, tightly twisting paths. These twisting lines tightly...

01:27Cranial Bones: Lateral View
The lateral view of the cranium is dominated by temporal, sphenoid, and ethmoid bones.
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...

01:08Overview of the Skull
The cranium (skull) is the skeletal structure of the head that supports the face and protects the brain. It is subdivided into the facial bones and the brain case, or cranial vault. The facial bones underlie the facial structures, form the nasal cavity, enclose the eyeballs, and support the teeth of the upper and lower jaws.
The cranial vault surrounds and protects the brain and houses the middle and inner ear structures. This cavity is bounded superiorly by the rounded top of the skull, which...

01:19Veins of Head and Neck
The blood drainage from the head and neck is primarily managed by three pairs of veins: the external jugular, internal jugular, and vertebral veins. The external jugular veins drain superficial scalp and face structures, passing over the sternocleidomastoid muscles to empty into the subclavian veins.
On the other hand, the vertebral veins, unlike their arterial counterparts, are not primarily responsible for brain drainage. Instead, they drain the cervical vertebrae, spinal cord, and some small...
