Anatomical perspectives of brow-lifting using threads: Clinical cases with techniques.
J Cosmet Dermatol
December 2024
Division in Anatomy and Developmental Biology, Department of Oral Biology, Human Identification Research Institute, BK21 FOUR Project, Yonsei University College of Dentistry, Seoul, Korea.
Article Synopsis
- - Understanding age-related changes in patients is crucial for performing effective blepharoplasty, especially since many seeking this surgery also show signs of eyebrow ptosis, highlighting the need for knowledge in brow and forehead rejuvenation techniques.
- - Various methods, including thread lifting with V and I techniques, are available for enhancing the forehead and eyebrows, with thread lifting considered a less invasive option that sits between surgery and non-surgical treatments.
- - Surgical procedures like endoscopic lifts and eyebrow lifting have their own pros and cons, but successful cases using cog threads demonstrate that careful anatomical approach is key for effective eyebrow elevation, despite thread lifting requiring repeated treatments for optimal results.
Article Synopsis
- A forehead lift is generally considered a safe surgical procedure, but it can have complications, including a rare condition known as iatrogenic superior oblique (SO) paresis.
- The report discusses a case of a 30-year-old woman who experienced vertical double vision (diplopia) after undergoing a brow and forehead lift, with an identified right eye SO muscle issue.
- After a follow-up period of three months, her symptoms resolved completely, indicating that iatrogenic SO paresis often improves on its own without any lasting effects.

How the Lifting Amount of Endoscopic Brow Lifts Is Influenced by Supraorbital Nerve Tension and Brow Gliding-Layer Mobility.
Plast Reconstr Surg
August 2023
From the Department of Anatomy.
Article Synopsis
- The study focused on how sensory nerve tension and gliding-layer mobility influence brow positioning after an endoscopic brow lift, using 50 cadaveric hemifaces for analytical measurements.
