The coronal brow lift.

We use a coronal brow lift to correct brow ptosis and associated forehead wrinkling. This technique eliminates the disadvantages of the traditional direct brow elevation, including scarring above the brow and failure to correct forehead and glabellar ptosis and wrinkling. The entire upper face is elevated as a unit, preserving the natural anatomy as much as possible. The scars are covered by hair. Eyebrow elevation and the final cosmetic results were satisfactory in all 22 cases in which we used this technique. There were no serious complications.
