The subcutaneous forehead lift, though rarely used, effectively reduces glabellar wrinkles and lifts brows. This technique showed no wound healing or hair loss issues in 27 female patients.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Cosmetic Surgery
  • Facial Rejuvenation Techniques

Background:

  • The subcutaneous approach to forehead lifting is infrequently documented.
  • Previous literature has cautioned against this method, citing potential dangers.

Observation:

  • A series of 27 female patients underwent forehead lifting using the subcutaneous approach.
  • The study focused on evaluating the safety and efficacy of this technique.

Findings:

  • No complications related to wound healing or alopecia were observed.
  • The procedure demonstrated effectiveness in reducing glabellar (vertical and transverse) wrinkles.
  • Successful brow elevation was achieved.
  • Sensation preservation in the posterior scalp was noted.
