Surgical treatment of the brow and upper eyelid.

Surgical management of the aging upper face has taken on a critical role in total facial rejuvenation, with a variety of techniques available. The hallmarks of the aging upper third of the face and periorbital region most commonly manifest as rhytids, brow descent, prolapse of periorbital fat, dermatochalasis, and volume loss and hollowing. The surrounding structures should be assessed individually and their relationships carefully analyzed to guide selection of the appropriate treatment. In this article, the authors explore the various approaches and techniques available for rejuvenation of the upper face, including the upper periorbital region.
