The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the long-term (average, 6 years; range, 3 to 11 years) follow-up results of both the endoscopic and pretrichial open forehead lift. Both the amount of eyebrow elevation and patient satisfaction (FACE-Q questionnaires) were analyzed.
Preoperative and postoperative eyebrow positions of 65 patients were measured. Both eyebrow sides were measured at three different points. Thirty-two patients completed the FACE-Q questionnaires (10 domains, Dutch translation).
Both the endoscopic and the pretrichial open forehead lift raised the eyebrow significantly at all measured points for each eye. This elevation effect was maintained significantly after long-term evaluation (average, 6 years; range 3 to 11 years), with no significant difference reported between techniques. After both procedures, patients were satisfied or strongly satisfied according to the FACE-Q questionnaires.
Both the endoscopic forehead lift and the pretrichial open forehead lift raise the eyebrow significantly, and both have a long-term effect with either satisfied or strongly satisfied patients, as evaluated according to the FACE-Q questionnaire.
CLINICAL QUESTION/LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Therapeutic, III.
本研究旨在评估和比较内窥镜和切迹前开放式额部提升术的长期（平均 6 年；范围 3 至 11 年）随访结果。分析了眉毛抬高的程度和患者满意度（FACE-Q 问卷）。
测量了 65 名患者的术前和术后眉毛位置。两侧眉毛在三个不同点进行测量。32 名患者完成了 FACE-Q 问卷（10 个领域，荷兰语翻译）。
内窥镜和切迹前开放式额部提升术均能显著抬高每只眼睛的眉毛，在所有测量点均有显著效果。长期评估（平均 6 年；范围 3 至 11 年）后，这种抬高效果得以维持，两种技术之间无显著差异。根据 FACE-Q 问卷，两种手术后患者均表示满意或非常满意。
