Comprehensive periorbital rejuvenation with resorbable endotine implants for trans-lid brow and midface elevation.
Periorbital rejuvenation can enhance a patient's appearance, with changes of only a few millimeters making a significant impact. Many patients undergoing blepharoplasty often have mild brow or midfacial changes for which they are unwilling to undergo additional concurrent forehead or midface procedures, however, because these procedures may be associated with an unacceptable postoperative recovery and may not provide adequate tissue fixation. This article describes limited incision procedures capable of providing excellent elevation and support to the brow and midface that can be incorporated easily into a comprehensive periorbital rejuvenation treatment plan using semi-permanent subperiosteal fixation devices.
