This report evaluates the efficacy of the modified supratrichial brow lift technique. The indications for the procedure, as well as the advantages, effectiveness, and complications are reviewed.
Thirty-six modified supratrichial brow lift procedures were performed bilaterally on 34 female and two male patients. The procedure was used in conjunction with a blepharoplasty in 32 patients and alone in four patients.
The procedure improved the cosmetic result in the 32 patients with lateral brow ptosis who had a concomitant upper eyelid blepharoplasty. No complications were encountered.
