Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo evaluate the aesthetic outcome after application of rectangle periosteous flap to cover corrugator.
METHODSOn the basis of regular rhytidectomy, a inter-eyebrow periosteous flap is applied to cover the fascia flap of corrugator by means of turnover. This manipulation helps to separate the skin from the muscle and prevent the re-adherence between the skin and muscle.
RESULTSThe approach was applied on 15 cases. The follow-up ranged from 6 months to 1 year. The results were satisfactory.
CONCLUSIONSThe method is effective in elimination of inter-eyebrow crease.
