|January 1, 1995
Summary
The combined subperiosteal browlift and midface lift effectively corrects midfacial ptosis and eyelid sagging. This safe surgical approach offers natural, long-lasting results for comprehensive upper and midface rejuvenation.
Area of Science:
- Plastic Surgery
- Facial Rejuvenation
- Aesthetic Surgery
Background:
- Midfacial ptosis and lateral eyelid sagging contribute to a tired appearance.
- Comprehensive correction requires addressing both upper and midface aging.
- Existing techniques may not offer a complete solution for midface ptosis.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the efficacy and safety of a combined subperiosteal browlift and midface lift.
- To assess the procedure's ability to correct midfacial ptosis and lateral eyelid laxity.
- To review technical aspects and long-term outcomes of the combined approach.
Main Methods:
- A subperiosteal approach was used for total mobilization of composite soft tissues.
- Superior suspension techniques were employed for tissue re-anchoring.
- The study reviewed 130 cases, including combined browlift, midface lift, and optional lower cheeklift/neck procedures.
Main Results:
- The combined procedure demonstrated effective correction of midfacial ptosis and lateral eyelid sagging.
- Reported results were natural-looking and long-lasting.
- The technique was found to be safe, with no significant complications noted in the reviewed cases.
Conclusions:
- The combined subperiosteal browlift and midface lift is a safe and effective procedure for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
- It provides natural and durable correction of midface aging and eyelid concerns.
- The technique offers a reliable solution for patients seeking to address both upper and midface ptosis.

01:14Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View
The superior view of the cranium shows the frontal and paired parietal bones.
The frontal bone is the single bone that forms the forehead. At its anterior midline, between the eyebrows, there is a slight depression called the glabella. The frontal bone also forms the supraorbital margin of the orbit. Near the middle of this margin is the supraorbital foramen, the opening that provides passage for a sensory nerve to the forehead. The frontal bone is thickened just above each supraorbital margin,...

01:27Cranial Bones: Lateral View
The lateral view of the cranium is dominated by temporal, sphenoid, and ethmoid bones.
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...
