“…Unlike traditional open forehead lift procedures that rely on skin excision [15,16], endoscopic techniques, on the other hand, rely on tissue dissection and release of areas of adherence via small incisions. The forehead depressors are weakened by myotomies to allow the frontalis to work unopposed elevating the eyebrows [2,8,17].…”

Fixation of the elevated eyebrow is an important final step in endoscopic forehead lifting. One of the most common methods of fixation includes temporal fasciae sutures for the tail of the eyebrow, and mini-screws for the body of the eyebrow. The concentric cables fixation is an alternative method for elevation of both the tail and the body of the eyebrow. This technique is compared to temporal fasciae suture and mini-screws fixation. Thirty-one patients were included in this study. They were divided into two groups; group I included patients who underwent fixation using fascia sutures and mini-screws, while group II patients underwent concentric cables suspension. Traditional screw and suture technique elevated the eyebrow tail by 7.2, 6.7, 6.3, and 6.0 mm, while the concentric cables resulted in 7.6, 6.8, 6.5, and 6.3 mm elevation at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively, respectively. The mean values of brow body elevation were 6.8, 6.4, 6.2, and 5.9 mm for group I, while the mean values of group II were 6, 5.4, 4.8, and 4.7 mm. The concentric cables technique showed a fewer complications rate compared to traditional fixation. The concentric cables fixation offers an alternative inexpensive method to suspend the tail, and to a lesser extent the body, of both eyebrows simultaneously with long-term stability. A fewer complications rate was documented compared to traditional temporal fasciae sutures and mini-screws fixation.

“…Incisions and scalp excision in the transitional hair growth zone will create a parting of the hair and visibility of the scar whereas in the parallel growth zone more posterior they leave a well-hidden scar. 11 If the patient has a significant 'widow's peak' this is excised and not advanced. The scalp is raised in the subgaleal plane and with care Rainey clips do not need to be employed as they can traumatize the scalp edges by crushing.…”

“…Hairline approach, if hairline correction is required 2. Coronal approach, if forehead height is acceptable Incisions should be made tangential to the hair follicles [7,9,10], which would allow hair growth through the resulting scar. Hairline incisions can follow the temporal hairline, and then run in a posterior direction into the hair-bearing area and down towards the ears.…”
