Secondary endoscopic forehead lift in patients with previous coronal brow lifts.

Introduction: The development of endoscopic surgical techniques has allowed an evolution from the standard coronal forehead lift to a minimally invasive one. Endoscopy avoids many of the undesirable results of the coronal approach while it remains very efficacious. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of endoscopic forehead lift in patients who have previously undergone coronal brow lift.
