Abstract:
Eyebrows play a significant role in an individual's expression of emotions and nonverbal communications. Nonendoscopic approaches to brow lifting include the coronal, pretrichial, direct, midforehead, and transblepharoplasty approaches. Endoscopic brow lift has become widely accepted as a procedure for restoring a youthful brow, hardly noticeable incisions of the scalp are needed for this subperiosteal dissection and final repositioning of the brow. The choice of incision and approach is based on the patient's forehead height and hairline position, and the patient's desired effect and surgeon's comfort and experience with a given procedure. Endoscopic brow lift is a predictable procedure for rejuvenation of the upper third of the face with minimal complications and obtains satisfactory aesthetic results.
