| | Abstract | Contemporary options for correction of the aging upper one-third of the face include open techniques with a coronal or anterior hairline incision, endoscopic access to the forehead including muscle transection, brow lift through direct forehead skin excision and various forms of brow-pexies. Realizing the common need for aesthetic improvement in the upper eyelids and desiring minimal incisions for forehead rejuvenation, an approach through the blepharoplasty incision has been developed which addresses all of the components of the aging upper third of the face: A combined subperiosteal approach for forehead elevation and transection of corrugator and procerus muscles through the blepharoplasty incision is presented. The postoperative improvements in the position of the brow as well as improvement in the glabellar area rivals other approaches and allows simultaneous improvement in upper eyelid aesthetics. | | Language | eng | | Pub Type(s) | Journal Article
