Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures

Background:

  • Classic forehead rejuvenation methods (coronal, subcutaneous) often result in significant scarring.
  • The endoscopic forehead technique offers reduced scarring but requires refinement for optimal results.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe three refinements to the endoscopic forehead technique for upper face rejuvenation.
  • To optimize aesthetic outcomes and minimize operative morbidity associated with endoscopic forehead lifts.

Main Methods:

  • Refinements include improved hair control using braiding and an Endoscopic Access Device.
  • Differential periosteal release (extensive laterally, conservative medially) and advanced fixation methods are detailed.
  • Technique modifications were applied in the care of 29 patients.

Main Results:

  • The described refinements enhance control over the elevated forehead.
  • Implementation led to greater patient satisfaction and technical advancement in endoscopic forehead rejuvenation.
  • Minimized operative morbidity was observed with the refined technique.

Conclusions:

  • The refined endoscopic forehead technique offers significant advantages over traditional methods.
  • These advancements in hair control, periosteal release, and fixation optimize aesthetic results.
  • The technique proves valuable for achieving high patient satisfaction and advancing surgical practice.
