“…A concern with using either of the aforementioned techniques was for the forehead skin to continue to accumulate at the brow causing impaired vision. To address this, multiple deep plane walking sutures 20–22 were used to promote adhesion by fibrosis between the underlying periosteum and overlying skin. Additionally, these sutures facilitated tension‐free skin closure 20…”

This case report describes a unique technique of rhytidectomy in a Bloodhound to repair excessive brow folding and droop complicating underlying entropion. This case posed specific challenges due to the loose fascial plane connective tissue. A large circular area of coronal skin was excised, followed by placement of deep plane walking fixation sutures for cosmetic realignment and to alleviate brow droop. In addition, a modified Hotz-Celsus procedure and lateral canthoplasty were performed to address the primary entropion. The coronal rhytidectomy was considered a successful approach to repair excessive brow droop in this Bloodhound.
