Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Otolaryngology
  • Cosmetic Procedures

Background:

  • Endoscopic brow lift is a common procedure for facial rejuvenation.
  • Existing scalp fixation techniques lack direct brow positioning capabilities.
  • A need exists for methods enabling precise control over brow elevation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a novel, simple technique for direct brow fixation during endoscopic brow lift.
  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of K-wire fixation for brow repositioning.

Main Methods:

  • A technique utilizing K-wires for direct fixation of the brow to the supraorbital rim was employed.
  • Twelve female patients undergoing endoscopic brow lift received this direct fixation method.
  • The procedure involved the placement of one or more K-wires per patient.

Main Results:

  • The K-wire fixation technique allowed for precise and direct positioning of the brow.
  • No complications were reported in any of the twelve patients who underwent the procedure.
  • The method proved to be simple and effective in achieving the desired brow elevation.

Conclusions:

  • Direct brow fixation with K-wires is a simple and effective technique.
  • This method offers precise restoration of brow position in endoscopic brow lift procedures.
  • The K-wire technique presents a safe alternative for brow fixation.
