“…DB surgery was done in a standard fashion, as previously described, with excision of an ellipse of skin and subcutaneous fat lateral to the supraorbital notch. 1,2,5,17 The edges of the incision were undermined for $0.5 cm and closed in two layers with interrupted subcutaneous 4-0 chromic gut sutures and a running 6-0 ProlenEB was performed in a standard fashion, as previously described. 8,9,13,22,23 Three paracentral incisions and two temporal incisions were used.…”

“…Popular techniques that elevate the brows from above, such as the direct brow-lift and the endoscopic brow-lift, are thought to be more effective than the internal brow-lifting techniques, which elevate the brows from below.

If brow ptosis is more prominent medially, the medial brow depressors can be released to elevate the medial brow.…”

Brow Ptosis Correction: A Comparison of Five Techniques

This study evaluates the effectiveness of five surgical techniques for brow ptosis repair including internal brow release (IBR), internal brow release with brow pexy (IBR + BP), internal brow release with corrugator and depressor supercilii removal (IBR + CDR), direct brow-lift (DB), and endoscopic brow-lift (EB). This is a retrospective study of 120 patients in which the preoperative and postoperative position of the medial, central, and lateral brow on both sides was measured. The brow was elevated 1.16 +/- 0.05 mm by IBR, 1.74 +/- 0.05 mm by IBR + BP, and 2.52 +/- 0.06 mm by IBR + CDR. IBR + BP was more effective than IBR in elevating the lateral brow ( P < 0.05). Removal of the medial brow depressors resulted in greater elevation of the medial and central brow than could be achieved with IBR or IBR + BP alone ( P < 0.01). EB resulted in the greatest amplitude of brow elevation (3.44 +/- 0.06 mm). Eyebrow-lifting surgery performed via the upper eyelid blepharoplasty incision prevents the lowering of brow position caused by blepharoplasty surgery alone. Brow pexy sutures are useful in enhancing elevation of the lateral brow, and removal of the medial brow depressors is useful in raising the medial and central brow.

\s=b\Ptosis of the brow is a significant and often unrecognized portion of aging of the upper face. It contributes to both cosmetic and functional aging. Correction is often mandatory prior to blepharoplasty in that functional problems may be worsened without elevating the brow.Direct and coronal browlifts are the most common approach to the problem. Midforehead browlifts have been reserved for men with receding hairlines. We have, for the past three years, performed midforehead browlifts on all our patients needing ptotic brow correction. Our review of 72 patients treated in this way, including 52 women, shows excellent and long-lasting cosmetic and functional improvement. There have been few complications, and the resultant incisional scars have been very well accepted. Therefore, we feel that the midforehead browlift, performed as we describe, is the ideal surgical correction for the ptotic brow.

“…The incisions in this technique are preformed in the forehead crease, and thus it is suitable for men with deeper forehead creases and retreating hairlines [16,17]. The potential complications of this procedure are visible scarring and altered forehead sensation.…”

Direct Brow Lift - An Update of Current Literature

Eyebrow ptosis is the earliest manifestation of the aging forehead. Surgical procedures to lift the ptotic brow were first published in the early 1900s and since the introduction of the direct brow lift technique, there have been numerous minor refinements to this procedure, as well as some major developments in surgical techniques. It was modified to utilize a mid-forehead or a coronal incision, and then superseded by the endoscopic technique of brow lifting. Yet, with the armory of brow lifting techniques that currently exist, there still is a major role for the direct brow lift, herein described in detail.
