Results
Brow ptosis can cause visual field constriction and secondary dermatochalasis. Midforehead brow lifting is not commonly performed, deep forehead lines commonly encountered in men are particularly useful for the placement of incisions comparatively close to the brows and in these cases, patients may prefer a scar in a forehead crease to scars above the brows from direct brow lifting. Many patients, particularly men, may not be bothered by the idea of a transverse forehead scar, provided it is well-hidden, but it can be challenging to avoid track marks from sutures or widening of the scar postoperatively. Midforehead brow lifts were more popular before small incision procedures, and endoscopic procedures were developed.
Conclusion
There are specific patients for whom the midforehead brow lift is ideal: typically men with thinning or absent hair, deep forehead rhytides, and sparse eyebrow hair. When patients are chosen with care, the outcomes are satisfying and cosmetically very acceptable.
