ABSTRACT

The midfrontal incision has been primarily designed for cosmetic purposes related to the rejuvenation of the upper third of the face, especially for brow lifting, although it is also useful for hyperactive frowning and glabellar ptosis. This paper reports three cases assisted at the department of Otolaryngology of the Hospital Angeles Lomas, in Mexico, in which a mid forhead approach was used to address non cosmetic issues, and had satisfactory result from the functional and cosmetic point of view. Authors conclude that, given the evolution of each case, a midforhead approach should be included in the armamentarium as an option for treatment of the frontal sinus, and for those revision cases where a combined endoscopic approach could also be indicated.
