Anatomical perspectives of brow-lifting using threads: Clinical cases with techniques

Area of Science:

• Aesthetic Surgery
• Facial Rejuvenation Techniques

Background:

• Age-related transformations necessitate tailored surgical interventions, particularly for eyebrow ptosis common in blepharoplasty candidates.
• Understanding brow and forehead rejuvenation techniques is crucial for surgeons.

Purpose of the Study:

• To explore eyebrow thread lifting as a method for brow and forehead rejuvenation.
• To compare thread lifting with surgical and non-surgical alternatives.

Main Methods:

• Utilized V and I techniques with floating-type threads for eyebrow lifting.
• Employed cannula usage with partial tunneling for efficacy in challenging anatomical areas.

Main Results:

• Eyebrow elevation mitigates sagging, improves vision, and rejuvenates facial aesthetics.
• Thread lifting provides immediate and gradual post-procedure changes.
• Non-surgical methods like Botulinum Toxin A offer limited brow elevation effects.

Conclusions:

• Eyebrow thread lifting is a middle ground between surgical and non-surgical procedures, offering rejuvenation with less downtime.
• The technique requires precise anatomical knowledge and periodic procedures, with effects lasting approximately six months.
• Successful eyebrow lifting was demonstrated using cog threads in presented cases.
