An Algorithm for Correction of the Aging Upper Face

As the approach to the upper face has evolved in recent years, so has the focus of aesthetic brow procedures. Brow position was the primary focus early in the late twentieth century, with the coronal brow lift the primary means of surgical correction. In more recent years, improving or maintaining brow shape has taken on greater importance and has increasingly been addressed by contemporary techniques. These include the endoscopic, temporal, direct, gliding approaches as well as nonsurgical brow lifts. As each patient has individual facial characteristics and expectations, every technique comes with a unique set of indications.
