| description | One of the first signs of facial ageing appears in the forehead, with the descent of the lateral part of the brow. This is a troubling condition for all patients and elevation of the lateral part of the brow becomes a more and more frequent demand. The authors present their experience in 350 consecutive cases of direct eyebrow lift (“butterfly wing” incision) alone or in combination with rhytidectomy and/or blepharoplasty. The majority of the patients were female (90%). The age ranged from 43 to 85 years. Eighty per cent of the cases were performed simultaneously with rhytidectomy and blepharoplasty, 16% were performed in association with blepharoplasty and eyebrow lift alone represented 4%. The most common complication was epidermal cyst (3.4%) and suture dehiscence (2%). The “butterfly wing” incision provides a useful alternative to correction of eyebrow ptosis. Indication for surgery is dependent more on the ageing signs than on the patient™s chronological age. The final results are consistently very gratifying to the patient and to the plastic surgeon alike. |
