pressure bandage is placed on the frontal area in order to avoid dead space and hematoma formation.
44.6.13 Postoperative Follow-Up
The patient is discharged on oral paracetamol-type analgesics, 500 mg every 6 h. Next day, on the first follow-up visit, the bandage and Penrose drain are removed, and staples are removed 1 week later.
Photographic follow-up is critically important for final result assessments. Photographs taken at 1, 3, and 6 months will ensure adequate follow-up and control (Fig. 44.19, 44.20, 44.21, 44.22, 44.23, 44.24, 44.25).

Incisions are closed with fine metal staples. A Penrose drain is left in the temporal incisions and a mild

44.7 Complications
Complications are infrequent. The most feared complication is frontalis muscle paralysis as a result of injury to the temporal branch of the facial nerve. This is quite improbable if the dissection is performed on the safe planes as described above. There may be cases of transient frontalis paresis, perhaps due to inflammation along the path of the facial nerve. This may take between 15 days and 6 months to recover. When paresis persists for more than 1 month, the use of botulinum

It is common to see paresthesias in the frontal region and in the scalp during the postoperative period. These can last up to 6 months. Careful manipulation of the areas where the supratrochlear and supraorbital nerves emerge may reduce the occurrence of this complication.
Scars are usually imperceptible since they are hidden under the hair. In bald patients or patients with little hair density, incisions that follow facial tension lines, such as Lange’s lines, may be used in order to improve the cosmetic results of the scars. In any event, patients must be informed of the possibility
that incisions may be visible during the first few months after surgery. Hair loss in the incision areas is rare [17, 18].
44.8 Discussion
Endoscopic forehead lift is one of the least invasive and most effective methods for eyebrow elevation and for controlling glabellar lines. Long-term results are excellent and very well accepted by patients. The degree of eyebrow elevation must be carefully assessed in order to attain natural-looking, “nonsurgical” harmonious results. Although this technique requires a slightly longer learning
