Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Oculoplastic Surgery
  • Facial Rejuvenation

Background:

  • Aging of the upper face involves brow ptosis, eyelid excess, and forehead muscle hyperfunction.
  • Various browlifting techniques exist, including endoscopic and direct methods.
  • The transblepharoplasty browlift (TBBL) is suitable for combined eyelid and brow rejuvenation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Endotine forehead device for brow fixation during TBBL procedures.
  • To assess surgeon satisfaction and patient outcomes with this combined approach.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective study of 20 patients undergoing TBBL with Endotine brow fixation (3, 3.5, or 4 mm).
  • Surgeon completed questionnaires on device performance and ease of use.

    Conclusions:

    • Endotine brow fixation via TBBL is an effective method for browlifting.
    • The device facilitates easy brow repositioning and offers a faster application than traditional sutures.
    • The TBBL approach with Endotine fixation demonstrates good safety and efficacy, leading to high patient satisfaction.
