The Forehead-Brow Lift

Abstract
The forehead-brow lift, though generally thought to achieve very little and for only a brief time, corrects ptosis of the eyebrows, redundancy of the upper eyelids, and skin wrinkles on the forehead, nasoglabellar, and lateral canthal regions. Other aesthetic improvements include restoration of the contour of the root of the nose and elevation of the nasal tip. However, careful attention to complete release of the frontalis-galea unit from the underlying orbital rims and zygomatic arches is essential for long-term success. A forehead-brow lift technique is described and the results and complications in 34 patients reviewed.
