Summary
This study presents an open surgical technique for lateral brow lifts, achieving satisfactory brow elevation in 94.41% of patients. The procedure is considered safe and effective for addressing brow ptosis and signs of aging.
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.
