Current concepts of browpexy.

    Summary

    Upper eyelid sagging often results from eyebrow ptosis. Standard blepharoplasty can worsen this, but browpexy techniques, particularly the coronal forehead lift, effectively correct eyebrow position and improve facial aesthetics.

    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Ophthalmology
    • Facial Aesthetics

    Background:

    • Excess upper eyelid skin is frequently caused by eyebrow ptosis.
    • Standard blepharoplasty may exacerbate eyebrow sagging, leading to an aged appearance.
    • A well-positioned eyebrow enhances facial alertness and beauty.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review effective browpexy techniques for correcting eyebrow ptosis.
    • To highlight the advantages and limitations of direct, midforehead, and frontal lifts.
    • To emphasize the comprehensive benefits of the coronal forehead lift.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of established browpexy procedures.
    • Analysis of the efficacy of direct, midforehead, and frontal brow lifts.
    • Detailed examination of the coronal forehead lift technique.

    Main Results:

    • Three browpexy techniques (direct, midforehead, frontal) are time-tested.
    • The coronal forehead lift addresses eyebrow ptosis, forehead sagging, wrinkles, and glabellar lines.
    • Proper eyebrow elevation improves facial aesthetics.

    Conclusions:

    • Browpexy is essential for correcting deformities secondary to eyebrow ptosis.
    • The coronal forehead lift offers a comprehensive solution for forehead and brow rejuvenation.
    • Achieving optimal eyebrow position significantly enhances facial appearance.
