title: Laser-assisted endoscopic forehead lift.
abstract: The periorbital area is one of the most expressive areas of the face, and there are many techniques available that can be used to alter the position of the eyebrows. Traditional surgical browlift techniques use coronal, midforehead, and direct approaches. This article discusses one of the most recent innovations in forehead lifting, the laser-assisted endoscopic forehead lift. A review of the literature describes the numerous available surgical techniques used to change the position of the eyebrow. The surgical technique for the laser-assisted endoscopic forehead lift is then presented in detail and illustrated with the results of two cases.
