Endoscopic brow lifting has largely replaced coronal brow lifting (Fig. 12). The results are at least equivalent, if not better, with a greatly decreased incidence of scarring, alopecia, and numbness of the scalp. The technique has a steep learning curve. The equipment needed to perform the surgery is expensive,but the authors believe that a well-trained surgeon using the proper instruments can perform this surgery with minimal trauma and few complications. An update with the advanced techniques described herein is recommended to further decrease the rate of complications and undesirable sequelae.

Plastic sugeon in private practice, Istanbul, Turkey.
Background: Over the past decade, facial aesthetics has gained popularity, with a notable increase in upper-face lift procedures. Despite the popularity of brows and forehead lifts, the optimal fixation technique remains controversial. Common methods involve suturing of the temporal fascia or using monocortical miniscrews anchored to the frontal bone.

Background: Temporal facelift (TFL) is an innovative technique for lifting the upper and mid-face. It is characterized by a unique dissection plane above the subgaleal fascia, which seamlessly transitions into the sub-superficial muscular aponeurotic system (SMAS) layer in the mid-face. This approach enables comprehensive mid-face elevation, robust canthopexy, and a significant brow lift in various vectors.

Article Synopsis
- Cervical myelopathy, a condition affecting the spinal cord in the neck, is commonly treated with either atlantoaxial fusion (AAF) or occipitocervical fusion (OCF), though there hasn't been a comprehensive study comparing their outcomes.
- The goal of this research was to evaluate and compare the clinical and radiological results of AAF versus OCF over a minimum follow-up period of 2 years, involving 64 patients.
- Results indicated that while both surgical techniques had similar overall outcomes in terms of neck pain and disability scores, patients who underwent OCF experienced significantly greater declines in lifting function and neck range of motion compared to the AAF group after the surgery.
Long-Term Stability in Endoscopic Brow Lift: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of the Literature.

Department of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery, Gazi University, Ankara, Türkiye.
Long-term stability and recurrent ptosis are among the most debated topics in endoscopic brow lifts. Although there are many publications on endoscopic brow lifts, more research is needed on long-term brow elevation and stability. This systematic review aims to evaluate the amount of elevation and stability achieved by endoscopic brow lifts in the long term.

Article Synopsis
- The aesthetics of the periorbital region are heavily affected by the position of the eyebrows, forehead wrinkles, and upper eyelid drooping, particularly due to aging-related eyebrow ptosis.
- There has been a rise in brow lift surgeries with various techniques, including the innovative 'gliding brow lift,' which uses a minimally invasive method and a hemostatic net.
- The article details a three-year experience with this technique involving three main steps: subcutaneous dissection, internal eyebrow fixation, and skin redraping, highlighting its simplicity, minimal scarring, and long-lasting effects.
