A Reappraisal of Surgical Techniques and Efficacy in Forehead Rejuvenation

August 2014 in “ Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery ”

Bahman Guyuron, Michelle Lee

TLDR Forehead rejuvenation is key to facial rejuvenation, with various surgical techniques tailored to individual needs.

The document reviewed various surgical techniques for forehead rejuvenation, emphasizing the importance of a thorough facial analysis to select the appropriate method and achieve optimal aesthetic results. Techniques discussed included open, coronal, pretrichial, limited, and endoscopic incisions. The review highlighted the need for conservative eyebrow elevation in patients with eyelid ptosis, proptosis, or deep tarsal creases, often recommending concurrent ptosis correction and fat injection. For men with receding hairlines, the corrugator supercilii muscles were removed via a transpalpebral approach, and the temple was lifted using radial incisions and endoscopic dissection.
