Management of the aging forehead.
Browlifting and forehead procedures are a critical element in the contemporary surgical management of the aging face. Esthetics of the upper third of the face will dictate brow position and its relationship to the supraorbital rim and eyes. Treatment of deformities of the upper third of the face can be varied according to the sex and age of the patient as well as contour of the hairline and forehead. The indications, advantages, disadvantages, and techniques of the coronal forehead, modified pretrichal forehead, midforehead, and direct browlifting procedures are discussed.
