ABSTRACT

Diferent techniques have been developed to lift the brow. This article will analyze the most common of said techniques, and propose a new one through the use of a blepharoplasty, which is fast, technically simple, does not requires sophisticated equipment, and provides good results. Material and methods: We reviewed 50 cases of patients, ranging between 35 to 62 years of age (average of 47 years of age), submitted to superior blepharoplasty and inverted frontal liffting, Through the blepharoplasty incision the physician had access to the periostium of the orbital rim to free the supraciliar tissue. After this skin is vertically shifted and by means of an incision to the frontal region the periostium is fixed to its new position with a 12 or 14 mm screw. Results: Of 50 surgically intervened patients, 46 showed good permanence of the pexia. The remainder of 4 showed recidivism, but were satisfied with the results of the blepharoplasty, no major complications were reported. Conclusion: The results of this technique are similar to those of other proposed techniques, however this technique does not need sophisticated equipment and its application leaves minimal scars.
