Forehead and Brow Rejuvenation Flashcards

1
Q

An isolated upper blepharoplasty performed in
the presence of brow ptosis can over time worsen that problem Why?

A

as frontalis tone decreases with the elimination of the compensatory stimulus provided by hanging upper lid skin, resulting in
increased brow ptosis

Q

It has also been noted that sagging glabellar skin can make
the nose appear foreshortened; this phenomenon, in combination
with a nasal tip elongated with age, can give the illusion of a nose
situated too low on the face

Q

Sensory innervation for the brow

A

The first two branches of the trigeminal nerve, the supraorbital nerve and
the supratrochlear nerve, supplies sensory innervation to the brow

horizontal forehead rhytids at rest. These lines are indicative
of a requirement for frontalis contraction to maintain brow height at
baseline

A

T

24
Q

The diagnosis of compensated brow ptosis

A

is confirmed by
having the patient close his or her eyes. If the frontalis relaxes and
the brow drops, compensated brow ptosis is present.

25
Q

Isolated brow lifting procedures
can unmask unrecognized upper eyelid ptosis and contribute to an
appearance of deep set eyes.

Q

The concept of a chemical brow lift produces minimal brow
elevation and is based on deactivating the depressors (corrugators,
orbicularis oculi, and central frontalis muscles)

Q

An open brow lift options

A

via a coronal (gull-wing)
approach or modified centrally to the widow’s peak hairline (anterior
approach)

30
Q

in patients with a wide forehead. The anterior approach will
improve the appearance of a wide forehead

A

T

31
Q

In patients with a wide forehead, defined as greater than 5 to 6 cm
from hairline to brow, a hairline incision is used. In patients with
normal brow width, a coronal incision is utilized and excess tissue is
excised from the hair-bearing scalp

A

T

32
Q

In patients
with hyperactive frontalis muscles, a wedge of frontalis is marked
and excised between the supraorbital nerves to preserve underlying fat

Q

advantages of endoscope

A

reduced
scar burden, decreased risk of scalp paresthesias, and diminished
postoperative edema

35
Q

multiple strategies of scalp flap fixation exist, most would agree that the periosteum reattaches to the mobilized scalp flap rapidly regardless of the method of fixation that is employed

A

T

36
Q

Although the endoscopic brow lift effectively addresses central
forehead and glabellar rhytids, lateral ptosis and crow’s feet are not as
readily addressed with this procedure

A

37
Q

a high hairline or an acutely sloped
forehead can make this procedure technically difficult to perform

A

T

38
Q

Disadvantage of endoscope

A

can’t address the lateral brow and crows feet
a high hairline or an acutely sloped forehead can make this procedure technically difficult to perform
The degree of muscle disruption necessary to achieve the desired result
can be more difficult to judge
prone to corrugator over-resection and resultant widening of the space between the eyebrows

39
Q

The endoscopic approach
is especially suited to individuals with a low brow position, as the
forehead with properly toned musculature can be expected, after
wide elevation

Q

Benefit of endoscope

Q

A medial subgaleal brow lift with corrugator muscle excision and procerus disruption can be done alone or in combination with a lateral temporal brow lift in patients with a low medial brow

A

No dressing is used in direct temporal brow lift

A

43
Q

The lateral temporal lift produces long-lasting results

A

T

44
Q

The midpupillary line, approximately 3.5 cm lateral to the midline, is then marked. After an extensive discussion of incision placement based on patient preference,
brow pattern, hair density, and forehead width, an elliptical incision
is demarcated that is 4 to 5 cm in length and 2 to 2.5 cm in width

A

T

45
Q

The closer the incision is to the eyebrow and less ptotic the brow,
the wider is the planned excision

A

F The closer the incision is to the eyebrow and less ptotic the brow,
the narrower is the planned excision

46
Q

the more ptotic the
brow or farther away the incision is from the eyebrow, the wider the
excision

47
Q

The lateral temporal subcutaneous brow lift has evolved to become
the authors’ technique of choice for managing the aging lateral brow

A

T

48
Q

The incision from the
lateral temporal lift heals quite well, and the resulting scars are often
nearly imperceptible.
