Endoscopic brow lift has become widely accepted as a procedure for restoring a youthful brow, since only 3 hardly noticeable incisions of the scalp are needed for this subperiosteal dissection and final repositioning of the brow. It has become an acceptable technique, an alternative to the conventional technique or transcoronal browpexy. One of the controversial points is the fixation of the flap in the elevated position.
Endoscopic brow lift allows separation and repositioning of the periosteum of the orbital rims and zygomaxilla. In a 6-year period from September 1999, 300 patients underwent endoscopic brow lift using our fixation approach, which was accomplished with an absorbable suture subperiosteally.
Satisfactory forehead rejuvenation was obtained in all patients, with correct eyebrow movement.
Long-term results of 6 years confirm the strength and durability of this fixation approach. We consider this approach to be a simple, secure, and reliable forehead fixation method, an alternative to other fixation methods, that allows satisfactory and long-lasting cosmetic results.
内镜下眉提升术已被广泛认可为一种恢复年轻眉形的手术方法，因为该骨膜下剥离及最终眉重新定位仅需在头皮上做3个几乎不易察觉的切口。它已成为一种可接受的技术，是传统技术或经冠状缝眉固定术的替代方法。其中一个有争议的点是皮瓣在提升位置的固定。
内镜下眉提升术可分离并重新定位眶缘和颧上颌骨的骨膜。在1999年9月起的6年时间里，300例患者采用我们的固定方法接受了内镜下眉提升术，该方法是通过在骨膜下使用可吸收缝线完成的。
所有患者均获得了满意的额部年轻化效果，眉毛运动正常。
6年的长期结果证实了这种固定方法的强度和持久性。我们认为这种方法是一种简单、安全且可靠的额部固定方法，可替代其他固定方法，能带来满意且持久的美容效果。
