The male foreheadplasty. Recognizing and treating aging in the upper face.
Many surgeons remain mistakenly preoccupied with aging in the jowl and neck and often overlook more objectionable changes in the upper face. These changes produce not only an old or aged appearance but also inappropriate expressions. This article outlines the elements of aging in the upper face and details the planning and execution of the foreheadplasty. Topics discussed include upper facial aesthetics, pseudoblepharochalasis, incisions for bald or balding men, and techniques for minimizing scars.
