The Frontalis Nerve in the Temporal Brow Lift
Abstract: \s=b\Brow elevation via the indirect temporal lift approach was carried out on a series of 26 cadaver half heads. The purpose of the dissection was to identify the course and depth of plane of the frontalis branch of the facial nerve. Of

“…This variability is demonstrated by the wide range of each of the points selected with respect to the reference line. This finding is in accord with previous reports (1,6,7,20). We have also found that the temporal branch of the facial nerve, when the parotidomasseteric fascia is pierced (always below the zygomatic arch), is at first located in the subcutaneous tissue because the galea does not extend below the zygomatic arch.…”

“…In our specimens, the frontal branches superior to the zygoma appeared to course within the superficial temporal fascia (protected by it). Liebman et al 1 reported similar results in their analysis of 26 cadaver specimens.…”

“…The subcutaneous fascial patch is an excellent anchor place to allow for a strong upward pull with simple Vicryl sutures, thus avoiding problems arising from very slow re-absorbable or non-absorbable materials. The third positive aspect is a safe preparation strictly above the temporal branch of the facial nerve [ 42 ], [ 43 ], [ 44 ].…”
