The forehead lift: endoscopic versus coronal approaches.
Aesthetic Plastic Surgery 2001 January
Rejuvenation surgery of the upper one-third of the face can be accomplished by a number of well-known techniques and approaches. The objectives of this study were to: (1) determine if endoscopic-assisted forehead lifts achieve the same degree of correction as the coronal/pretrichial forehead lifts, (2) to assess the effect of concurrent blepharoplasty on brow elevation, and (3) to evaluate long-term results of coronal/ pretrichial forehead lifts. The study was a retrospective blinded comparison of pre- and postoperative photographs of patients who underwent forehead lifts. In order to control for the differences in photographs, ratios of distances were measured utilizing standard anthropometric sites of the brow, medial canthus, and subnasale. All reviewed cases were operated on by the same surgeon (S.W. Perkins, M.D.). A total of 140 patients having undergone forehead lift procedures and with 12-month postoperative photographic documentation were included in the study. Of these 121 patients had coronal forehead lifts and 19 had endoscopic-assisted forehead lifts. Results revealed that at 1 year follow-up both methods achieved brow elevation without a significant difference in the approach. Concomitant blepharoplasty had no statistical effect on brow position. Additionally, long-term follow-up on the coronal/pretrichial lifts revealed a gradual drop in brow position over 5 years. We conclude that both endoscopic and coronal/pretrichial forehead lifts provide for comparable elevation at 1-year follow-up. Concomitant blepharoplasty has minimal to no significant effect on brow position. Brow elevation in coronal/pretrichial forehead lifts may be temporary.
