Abstract
The forehead and brow lift is one of the most commonly performed surgical cosmetic
procedures for the rejuvenation of the upper third of the face. Various surgical techniques
have been developed to achieve maximum aesthetic results alongside minimum complications;
each method has its advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, the ideal surgical approach
for each patient should be selected based on careful preoperative evaluation and proper
case selection. This article presents a novel modification of the transfollicular
forehead and brow lift using a simultaneous biplanar approach to the subcutaneous
and sub-periosteal tissue planes. This technique is beneficial to the patient by taking
advantage of both the endoscopic and transfollicular methods.
