title: Forehead lifting: the juxtapilose subperiosteal approach.
abstract: Aging in the upper face becomes more evident as the eyebrow level descends. Sometimes this may begin at an early age. The senior author has described a limited approach for the treatment of this aesthetic alteration. In selected cases, the juxtapilose incision, placed laterally at the margin of the anterior hairline, allows for the subperiosteal undermining of the entire forehead and dissection of the elements that cause the descent of the eyebrow. The procedure is safe and expedient, and permits for a controlled repositioning of the eyebrow. In this paper, the authors describe the juxtapilose incision and the subperiosteal approach of the forehead as a practical ancillary procedure for correction of the aging face.
