CES University, Bogotá, Colombia.

Published: August 2006

Purpose Of Review: The purpose of this review is to provide the latest findings in the constantly changing field of brow and forehead lifting. Significant articles published in the last 24 months are reviewed and discussed based on the personal experience of the senior author (F.P.).

Recent Findings: Important anatomical findings have been made over the last few years which will have an impact on plastic surgery of the upper third of the face, with new ligamentous structures of the forehead and more precise landmarks of the supraorbital neurovascular bundle being described. The short-term efficacy of a new device for periosteal fixation has been evaluated and new data have been collated about the time required for forehead periosteal readhesion.

Summary: In the last few years there have been important anatomical findings which will allow the development of more detailed and safe techniques for forehead lift surgery. New absorbable materials are available that allow efficient mechanical fixation of the soft tissues. The senior author of this review has extensive personal experience involving more than 400 cases. In addition to commenting on recent articles, we detail the methods we have used over the last 8 years, especially regarding the fixation technique.

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.
