Sutures of the Skull

Sutures 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...

Area of Science:

Plastic Surgery
Oculoplastic Surgery
Aesthetic Surgery

Background:

Lateral brow descent is a primary indicator of facial aging.
Aging leads to changes in the brow position and forehead aesthetics.
Surgical intervention is often sought to address brow ptosis.

Purpose of the Study:

To detail an open surgical method for lateral brow lifting.
To achieve reliable, predictable, and enduring outcomes in lateral brow elevation.
To provide a reproducible surgical technique for aesthetic rejuvenation.

Main Methods:

An incision was made within the temporal hairline.
Dissection extended to the deep temporal fascia and subperiosteally to the orbital rim.
Tissue fixation involved sutures to the galea aponeurotica and fascial layers.

Main Results:

519 patients underwent the lateral brow lift procedure.
Successful lateral brow elevation was achieved in 94.41% of cases.
Complications included relapse, frontal nerve neurapraxia, and alopecia.

Conclusions:

The described open surgical technique is safe and effective.
This method yields long-lasting results for lateral brow rejuvenation.
The procedure offers a reliable solution for correcting brow ptosis.
