[Traditional brow lift vs. endoscopic brow lift: Techniques and indications].

The forehead lift is designed to raise the eyebrows and reduce forehead wrinkles to rejuvenate the face. Since 1991, endoscopic surgery has revolutionized forehead lift techniques, bringing significant improvements in both cosmetic and reconstructive surgery. This article aims to present the indications and techniques of fronto-temporal plastic surgery, detailing the frontal and temporal areas.

"Temporal MORE (Modified Orbicularis REpositioning): going beyond the limits of temporal lifting".

Background: Periorbital rejuvenation is often challenging and requires comprehensive evaluation of its various components to obtain satisfying results. Considering the crucial role of the orbicularis muscle in the periorbital aging process, the first author recently described his personal technique for temporal lifting through a subcutaneous approach in conjunction with an orbicularis muscle flap. In the current article, the authors present a modified and extended temporal lift approach, which allows for remarkable improvement not only in the temporal and brow region, but in the whole periorbital area up to the malar region, therefore named "Temporal MORE" (Modified Orbicularis REpositioning).

The Gliding Brow Lift: A Systematic Review of the Literature.

Introduction: Gliding brow lift (GBL) has become one of the most popular techniques for eyebrow lifting in recent years. Despite the widespread use of the technique, there are a few publications in the literature. This systematic review was conducted to present current data on GBL and determine its place among brow lift procedures.

[Brow lift by direct excision].

This article explores the technique of brow lift by direct excision to treat brow ptosis and rejuvenate facial appearance. Current brow lift techniques include thread lifts and traditional surgical methods such as frontotemporal lift and endoscopic lift. Direct excision stands out for its precision and ability to offer long-lasting and aesthetically pleasing results.

Feminization of the Forehead: A Scoping Literature Review and Cohort Study of Transfeminine Patients.

Background: Facial feminization may be performed to alleviate gender dysphoria among transfeminine patients. The upper third of the face has several characteristics, including hairline shape and position, brow position, and forehead protrusion, that may confer feminine identity. The purpose of this study is to conduct a scoping literature review of techniques performed for forehead feminization and to additionally study clinical outcomes within an institutional cohort.

Gender- and Age-Related Characterization of Lower Eyelid Morphology: Three-Dimensional Analysis in a Chinese Population.

Background: The lower eyelid region is a critical component of the face. It is essential to establish anthropometric reference values for the evaluation of aging, surgical planning and assessment of outcomes in periocular esthetic and rejuvenation procedures. This study aims to provide comprehensive anthropometric data on the Chinese lower eyelid region, into account factors such as sex and age, through three-dimensional imaging analysis.

Horizontal Gaze Assessment: An Extensive Narrative Review.

Objective: Bipedalism was a significant milestone in the evolutionary development of Homo sapiens sapiens, influencing neocortical evolution and subsequent behavioral changes. Coordinated visual and sensory inputs are crucial for posture, environmental interaction, and surgical planning, with horizontal gaze being a pivotal parameter. This narrative review aims to explore various geometric measures used to assess horizontal gaze in patients, highlighting their applications in surgical planning.

A Modified Subbrow Blepharoplasty for Correction of Severe Upper Eyelid Skin Laxity.

Background: Periorbital aging is characterized by dermatochalasis, lateral hooding and malformation of multiple eyelid creases. Rejuvenation of periorbital region is of great concern in aging Asians, especially for the females. However, the conventional subbrow blepharoplasty was indicated for mild or moderate skin laxity.

Invasive Squamous Cell Carcinoma Arising From a Cystic Brow Mass.

An 82-year-old woman presented with a 6-month history of an enlarging brow mass that developed after trauma. Clinical and MRI appearance of the lesion appeared consistent with epidermal inclusion cyst. However, excisional biopsy demonstrated invasive squamous cell carcinoma, which recurred 6 weeks later and required repeat surgical excision.

East Asia Superciliary Arch Augmentation With Silicone Implant.

Objective: A flat superciliary arch is relatively common in East Asian women. Superciliary arch augmentation aims to increase the facial three-dimensionality of the upper face. However, there are few reports in the literature specifically introducing the surgery.

Eyelid and Brow Rejuvenation: Technical Pearls and Outcomes of Upper Blepharoplasty with or without Ptosis Correction and Brow Lift.

Background: Eyelid ptosis may present with upper lid dermatochalasis and brow ptosis. When indicated, ptosis correction (PC) is advocated during upper blepharoplasty (UB). In this study, the authors aimed to report their outcomes following UB and PC.

Measuring facial mimicry: Affdex vs. EMG.

Facial mimicry is the automatic imitation of the facial affect expressions of others. It serves as an important component of interpersonal communication and affective co-experience. Facial mimicry has so far been measured by Electromyography (EMG), which requires a complex measuring apparatus.

Secondary Forehead Lift in Transgender Women.

Facial feminization surgery includes a series of procedures that aim to attenuate the masculine features of the face and make the face more feminine and harmonic. During the past few years, several feminization techniques have been developed or adapted to this discipline. The current intervention of the forehead for feminization is based on the setback of the anterior wall of the frontal sinus and the remodeling of the supraorbital and glabellar region, associated to brow lift and hairline advancement.

Skin Toxicities Associated with Botulin Toxin Injection for Aesthetic Procedures: Data from the European Spontaneous Reporting System.

Botulinum toxin is a protein deriving from the bacteria and it is widely used for the treatment of a variety of muscle hyperactivity syndromes and for cosmetic indications. Having a long-lasting effect, Botulinum toxin type A (BTA) is one of the most botulin toxin products used. Even if BTA has shown benefits in reducing the vertical lines between the eyebrows, Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs) have been experienced as well, of which the most common ones are headache and drooping eyelids.

[Modern methods of adhesive fixation of facial epitheses].

This review presents an analysis of domestic and foreign literature on the issues of fixation of facial epitheses and combined maxillofacial prostheses, such as the use of craniofacial implants installed in the zygomatic bone, brow arches, orbital walls, mastoid process of the temporal bone with beam or magnetic beam fixation systems. The advantages and disadvantages of such fastening systems are described. The analysis and systematization of available data on medical adhesive compositions that can be used in maxillofacial prosthetics to hold facial epitheses has been carried out.

Choosing Upper Blepharoplasty, Infra-brow Lift, and Forehead Lift in Asians: An Algorithmic Approach from Personal Experience.

Background: Eyelid surgery is a cosmetic procedure performed worldwide in the field of plastic surgery. However, achieving optimal outcomes for the upper eyelids presents a challenge, necessitating careful patient selection and appropriate surgical choices.
