Transblepharoplasty brow lift
نویسنده
چکیده
Owing to the endoscopic approach to brow lifting, the renovated awareness of the frontalis-galea-occipitalis (FGO) muscle unit concept has modified the understanding of eyebrow positioning and elevation. It is now felt that this muscle unit elevates the brow and that its surgical freeing from the inferior-anterior insertion, associated with freeing of the FGO unit from its skull attachments, results in forehead and eyebrow elevation. Using these premises, the author is obtaining the same physiological results by liberating the frontalis attachments from an inferior approach using the upper lid blepharoplasty incision.

Surgical attempts to elevate the brow complex are usually successful medially, but often fail laterally. The "modified lateral brow lift" is a hybrid technique, incorporating featur...
