Introduction:
Gliding brow lift (GBL) has become one of the most popular techniques for eyebrow lifting in recent years. Despite the widespread use of the technique, there are a few publications in the literature. This systematic review was conducted to present current data on GBL and determine its place among brow lift procedures.
Method:
GBL-related studies were searched in PubMed, Google Scholar, Web of Science, and Scopus databases. The screening was carried out from January 2019 to December 2023. All publications in which GBL was performed alone or in combination with other facial rejuvenation procedures or in which the results related to the technique were included.
Results:
Sixty-three publications were evaluated, and four met the review criteria. The total number of patients who underwent GBL was 181. Most studies were retrospective case series and had a low level of evidence. It was observed that the evaluation parameters were mostly subjective. The technique was found to be generally effective and had low complication rates.
Conclusions:
Although this systematic review shows that GBL is an effective and low-complication technique for a brow lift, there is a need to share prospective, more extensive case series and objective data of patients with longer follow-up periods.
