Modified brow lift: an adjunct to blepharoplasty.
OBJECTIVE
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.


METHODS
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.


RESULTS
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.


CONCLUSIONS
The modified supratrichial brow lift can improve the cosmetic result in patients with lateral brow ptosis undergoing an upper eyelid blepharoplasty.
