Transpalpebral brow lifting.
The combined-access brow lift described in this article is a limited-incision technique that can provide a cosmetic effect comparable to that produced by the coronal incision technique. It also allows safe direct visualization of anatomic structures comparable to that allowed by the endoscopic-assisted technique, but because it requires no endoscopic instrumentation, it is less expensive and takes less time to learn.
