Brow lift practice in receding hairlines: A retrospective comparison of brow lift techniques.

Introduction: Assessing facial aesthetic surgery outcomes often relies on expert opinion, which inherently introduces bias. This study examined the use of artificial intelligence to objectively compare novel and standard brow lift techniques.

Methods: Fifty-nine patients who underwent brow lift surgery between 2006 and 2020 were divided into two groups: Group A (n = 47) underwent a standard brow lift, while Group B (n = 12) received our novel technique.

Optimal Time for Nevus Sebaceous Excision and Predictors of Surgical Outcomes and Secondary Intralesional Neoplasms: The Mayo Clinic Experience Over 37 Years.

Background: Controversy exists around the optimal timing of resection of nevus sebaceous (NS). The authors aim to determine optimal timing of NS resection and identify predictors of surgical outcomes and secondary intralesional neoplasms.

Methods: Retrospective chart review of all patients with biopsy-proven NS diagnosis treated at the authors' institution between 1987 and 2024.

Imaging Yield, Surgical Findings, and Outcomes Following Surgical Excision of Lateral Brow Dermoid Cysts.

Purpose: To review cases of lateral brow dermoid cysts and gain insight into the utility of preoperative imaging, incidence of intraorbital extension, and recurrence rate.

Methods: This is a retrospective study of all patients who underwent excision of lateral brow dermoid cysts at the authors' academic center over a 37-year period.

Results: A total of 136 patients were included.

The Fate of the Frozen Bone Flap: Quantitative and Volumetric Assessment Following Cranioplasty Using the Autologous Bone Flap.

Objective: The pattern, rate, and natural history of bone flap resorption following cranioplasty with frozen, autologous bone flap has not been fully defined. The authors sought to quantify the progression and natural history of bone flap resorption.

Methods: Patients who had craniectomy and delayed cranioplasty with stored, frozen bone flap between 2012 and 2022 were included in this study.

Imaging Yield and Surgical Outcomes of Nasal, Medial Brow, Forehead, and Scalp Dermoid Cysts.

Objective: Dermoid cyst (DC) is a congenital cyst with the potential to have intracranial extension (ICE). This study aims to evaluate the imaging yield and surgical outcomes of nasal, medial brow, forehead, and scalp DCs.

Design: Retrospective review of craniofacial DCs treated at our institution between 1992 and 2024.
