Abstract
Alternate locations to skin excisions adjacent to the eyebrows for correction of eyebrow ptosis have been presented. Excisions in the upper forehead or in the scalp permit flexibility in width and length of skin or scalp to be excised and may be extended laterally to produce a temporal lift which not only improves the lateral canthal area of sagging skin but also may improve the lower eyelid surgical correction results (Figs. 1 and 3). By use of adequate lipectomy and full-width platysma muscle flaps to support the new neck contour, better and longer lasting results have been accomplished. The currently used techniques for eyebrow, face, and neck lifts for males produce better and longer lasting results than could have been accomplished with previously used techniques. The continued search for improvement in techniques by many surgeons in different areas of the world has enabled these longer lasting and better results to be accomplished.Entities:
