Browlift

Abstract

Twenty five years ago, the options for browlifting were limited. With the advent of endoscopic plastic surgery, a variety of endoscopic procedures with muscle modifications were made possible. More recently, trans-blepharoplasty approaches with brow-pexy became available, giving the surgeon a variety of approaches to treat the many variations of brow ptosis. In the past 20 years, there have been a number of new procedures developed as well as variations on existing procedures and techniques to alter the brow. In this chapter, the author describes two techniques in depth: the coronal and endoscopic lifts. Other methods will be summarized with annotated references for the reader who wishes to explore further.
