MedWorm: Brow Lift

Reply

American Journal of Ophthalmology — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 17:01:31 +0100

The focus of our recent publication was branch facial nerve injury occurring as a result of superficial temporal artery biopsy. In the article, we stressed that the risk of this complication is reduced by obtaining a specimen from the parietal as opposed to the frontal branch of the superficial temporal artery. We mentioned that locating the path of the artery is aided with removal of hair overlying the surgical site. Dastgir and associates advise not removing hair as a slight modification. The neurosurgical literature suggests that shaving hair on the head has little impact on infection risk. In short, we are not opposed to their suggested technique of simply parting the hair along the line of the surgical incision and pasting the hair with antibiotic ointment. One can also use rubber ban...

Volumetric senile browlift: a new technique for upper periorbital rejuvenation

International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery — Sat, 01 Oct 2011 04:00:00 +0100

Introduction: The aging of the upper periorbital region usually leads to a combined alteration of brow ptosis and loss of fat tissue. Volumetric senile browlift (VSB), an innovative technique based on earlier practices, produces eyebrow repositioning associated to volumetric augmentation through fat flaps, allowing full rejuvenation of the upper periorbital region.

Conclusions We reject the null hypothesis and state that there is a measurable, statistically significant difference between the studied groups related to postoperative forehead and scalp sensation and that those observed differences are objective and subjective in nature as well as time dependent. However, almost no patients (57 of 58), irrespective of the technique used for their brow-lift, viewed their experienced forehead and/or scalp numbness to have been significant enough to deter them from undergoing the surgery again.

Aesthetic blepharoplasty

The British Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 00:00:00 +0100

Abstract: Blepharoplasty is one of the most demanding aesthetic procedures, and relevant anatomical knowledge of the eyelid and surrounding area is essential. The pathophysiology of ageing in these sites results in varied clinical features.In upper blepharoplasty, lateral brow lift is a necessary adjunctive procedure. Access through the upper blepharoplasty incision is used to adjust retro-orbicularis oculi fat, for glabellar myotomy, and lateral canthopexy.In lower blepharoplasty, the traditional approach is to use a skin and muscle flap, but skin-only flaps are being reported increasingly. Septal reset and plication of the orbicularis oculi is recommended instead of excision of fat.The aim is improvement of cosmesis with no signs of the procedure.

Methods of controlling, whilst preserving, the hair during facelift surgery and other craniofacial surgery have been described. Suggestions include using sterile rubber bands, metal foil, hair braiding, beading or clipping, hair rollers, aquagel, hibiscrub, opsite and covering the hair with a swimming cap. The senior author has tried most of these techniques and found them either ineffective or time consuming (the placement of bands, beads, braids or clips can be particularly time consuming). For procedures such as an endoscopic brow lift that requires scalp incisions through the thicker scalp skin, away from the face, we describe the use of staples as a more efficient alternative.

The Modified Lateral Brow Lift

Aesthetic Surgery Journal — Sun, 01 Mar 2009 05:00:00 +0100

In the aging face, the lateral third of the brow ages first and ages most. Aesthetically, eyebrow shape is more significant than height and eyebrow shape is highly dependent on the level of the lateral brow complex. Surgical attempts to elevate the brow complex are usually successful medially, but often fail laterally. The “modified lateral brow lift” is a hybrid technique, incorporating features of an endoscopic brow lift (small hidden incisions, deep tissue fixation) and features of an open coronal brow lift (full thickness scalp excision). Sensory innervation of the scalp is preserved and secure fixation of the elevated lateral brow is achieved. Side effects and complications are minimal. (Aesthetic Surg J 2009;29:158–166.)

Rejuvenation of the male brow.

Facial Plastic Surgery Clinics of North America — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 11:33:10 +0100

Authors: Clevens RA Rejuvenation of the brow is an integral component of surgery of the aging face. Browlifting in men poses challenges that are different from surgery on the female brow. The ideal shape of the brow in men is distinct from the shape of the female brow. The male hairline is often elevated or receding. Male skin is generally heavier, thicker, and coarser. Men generally have deeper furrows and creases. The purpose of this article is to delineate an approach that achieves optimal rejuvenation of the upper one third of the face in the male patient.

Brow lift via the direct and trans-blepharoplasty approaches.

Orbit — Fri, 01 Dec 2006 05:00:00 +0100

Authors: Tyers AG Brow ptosis occurs as part of the aging process, and as a complication of facial nerve paresis. The article addresses the options available for correction of brow ptosis. The direct brow lift is effective for medial and central brow ptosis, and additional lift laterally may occasionally be needed. This is achieved with either a temporal external lift or an internal lift combined with blepharoplasty. The direct brow lift is suitable for any degree and pattern of brow ptosis, usually in males. It is also suitable for older females as well as male patients with facial paresis or marked involutional brow ptosis. The trans-blepharoplasty brow lift is suitable for relatively small degrees of brow ptosis affecting mainly the lateral two-thirds of the brow in any age group. I...

The extended minimal incision approach to midface rejuvenation.

Facial Plastic Surgery Clinics of North America — Mon, 01 Aug 2005 04:00:00 +0100

Authors: Pontius AT, Williams EF Recent major advancements in comprehensive facial rejuvenation have focused on management of midfacial aging. Multiple techniques have been described to treat the aging midface; the mere nature of so many approaches is evidence that no one technique has prevailed. Although the nasolabial region remains a challenge to correct, the approach described herein provides comprehensive rejuvenation of the midface, lateral brow, and jawline. The technique is performed via a minimal incision brow-lift approach and has been performed (with minor modifications) by the senior author in more than 650 patients over the past 9 years. The technique has proven to be safe, reliable, and effective. PMID: 16085287 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE] (Source: Facial Plastic S...

Management of forehead and brow deformities.

Atlas of the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Clinics of North America — Tue, 14 Sep 2004 06:00:00 +0100

Authors: Griffin JE, Owsley TG The subcutaneous trichophytic forehead browlift allows rejuvenation of the forehead with precise, stable brow positioning, excellent visualization, and direct treatment of the brow and forehead musculature. This method avoids lengthening the forehead and, with meticulous closure, can produce an imperceptible scar and natural-appearing hairline.

The endoscopic brow and midface lift.

Atlas of the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Clinics of North America — Sun, 14 Sep 2003 06:00:00 +0100

Authors: Watson SW, Niamtu J, Cunningham LL Improvements in technology have increased the level of patient care in all aspects of medicine and surgery. This is no less true in the area of cosmetic surgery. The use of endoscopy has led to improved aesthetics with respect to postoperative scarring, decreased healing time for patients, and an increase in overall patient satisfaction. Because the endoscopic brow and midface lift accomplishes the three primary goals of facial cosmetic surgery (restoration, rejuvenation, and enhancement) while adhering to the concepts of working from inside out and repositioning rather than excising, it could be concluded that there is no longer any indication for either the coronal or trichophillic brow lifts. An argument could be made that a direct brow li...
