Abstract
Foreheadplasty, particularly the endoscopic technique, is a refined surgical approach aimed at addressing the multifaceted signs of aging in the upper face. While the term "brow lift" is often used, it inadequately encompasses various age-related changes such as glabellar skin lines, dermatochalasis, and lateral eyebrow ptosis. Foreheadplasty provides a more comprehensive solution, allowing for the correction of these issues in a single procedure to achieve optimal aesthetic outcomes. Common techniques include coronal, endoscopic, and limited incision non-endoscopic methods, all targeting smoother skin lines and resuspended eyebrows. In our practice, we favor the endoscopic technique for its ability to minimize invasiveness while maximizing results. This method employs an endoscope and specialized instruments to release critical anatomical structures, facilitating the elevation of the forehead and achieving the desired eyebrow shape. The endoscopic approach is associated with fewer complications, reduced downtime, and minimal scarring compared to traditional methods, making it a versatile option for long-term aesthetic enhancement.
