Certain patients subconsciously frown whenever concentrating or conversing. This hyperactivity of their corrugator muscles gives them an unattractive mean or angry look. Prominent glabellar frown lines eventually result from making this facial expression repeatedly. If such patients undergo an open coronal browlift, their corrugator muscles are resected routinely. However, patients who do not need or want a browlift seldom agree to a coronal incision just for access to their corrugators. To address this problem, the author devised an endoscopic operation to approach and resect the corrugators through three 5-mm hairline incisions. In this initial series, the subconscious tendency to frown when concentrating or conversing was reduced to about 20% of the preoperative level. This resulted in a more pleasant facial appearance.
某些患者在集中注意力或交谈时会下意识地皱眉。他们皱眉肌的这种过度活动使他们看起来不招人喜欢，显得刻薄或愤怒。反复做出这种面部表情最终会导致明显的眉间皱纹。如果这些患者接受开放式冠状眉提升术，通常会切除他们的皱眉肌。然而，那些不需要或不想要进行眉提升术的患者很少会仅仅为了切除皱眉肌而同意做冠状切口。为了解决这个问题，作者设计了一种内窥镜手术，通过三个5毫米的发际线切口来接近并切除皱眉肌。在这个初始系列中，集中注意力或交谈时下意识皱眉的倾向降低到了术前水平的约20%。这使得面部外观更加宜人。
