Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Techniques

Background:

  • Forehead lifting aims to rejuvenate the upper face by elevating the brows and reducing wrinkles.
  • Traditional methods may involve external or internal fixation, which can be cumbersome.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the outcomes of endoscopic forehead lifting and biplanar forehead lift.
  • To assess the efficacy of a technique that avoids external bolsters or internal bone anchors.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized endoscopic techniques for forehead lifting.
  • Employed a biplanar approach.
  • Did not use temporary suspension to the scalp or calvarium.

Main Results:

  • Achieved persistent elevation of the brows.
