Use of endoscopic surgery for forehead recontouring.
Forehead recontouring in endoscopic surgery is presented. Eleven cases of protruded forehead deformity caused by benign tumor and one case of concave deformity caused by depressed frontal bone fracture were treated. All lesions were approached through incisions made in the hair-bearing area and operated on endoscopically. This method left no scars on the forehead, and the results were satisfactory. It is considered to be an excellent procedure with regard to cosmetic results.
