Endobrow Lift |

47.1 Introduction
The eyebrow (Fig. 47.1) deserves special mention within the context of the balance of the upper face and therefore forehead rejuvenation. The author has a simple new technique and concept, that of the endobrow lift, which is the direct elevation of the brow through the upper blepharoplasty incision. There are various other procedures in the context of forehead rejuvenation that are discussed.
The Endobrow Lift is a procedure that restores a more youthful, refreshed look to the area above the eyes by correcting drooping of the brows. The main advantage of this procedure is avoiding an extrascar or hair loss that other procedures might cause.
Most imbalances involve the middle and lower areas of the face. The eyebrows should be located at least 2–2.5 cm above the upper lid margin level when the eyes are closed. The medial aspect of the eye brow is caudal to the lateral extreme, and the highest portion of the eye brow arch is at the junction of the lateral third with the medial two-thirds of the eye brow corresponding to the lateral limits of the limbus in a straight forward gaze [1].
The eyebrow droop can cause significant overhang of upper eyelid skin over the lashes, and these are suitable candidates for the eyebrow lift. The cause of eyebrow ptosis is unknown but simple ptosis and true excess of skin on the upper eyelids (dermatochalasis) can occur due to gravity and aging, which can cause

thinning and descent of the tissue of the forehead. Occasionally, eyebrow ptosis is caused by a paralysis of the facial nerve (facial palsy), or the weight of a tumor, or trauma on one side. It can interfere with visual function or appear unsightly. It is usually bilateral but can be asymmetrical, appearing on one side only [2].
First the surgeon must assess the appearance of the forehead, eyebrows, upper eyelids, and the periocular region. The surgeon must assess the lines of the forehead, how active the eyebrows are, whether the

eyebrows are used a lot to keep the eyelids open, or whether they are immobile, suggesting a nerve palsy. Measurements will be made and photographs taken. The amount of associated upper eyelid ptosis and excess skin on the eyelids is determined. According to the findings, the surgeon may recommend brow ptosis surgery.
is mandatory to free the lateral brow and thereby enable elevation. Anatomically one muscle elevates the brow which is frontalis, and four muscles depress the brow, namely corrugator, procerus, fibers of the orbicularis, and superficial supercilii (Fig. 47.4).
47.2 Anatomy
The brows (Fig. 47.2) come in different shapes and sizes and gender differences exist. The male brow is naturally lower and less arched than that of the female. The female brow is finer, more curved, and is situated above the bony rim [3, 4].
The forehead (Fig. 47.3) is a highly dynamic region of the face, and patients who are more animated use each muscle of the forehead more frequently. This frequent use undoubtedly causes changes to the skin. A major factor stabilizing the eyebrow is its attachment to the periosteum in the supraorbital region. Dividing the periosteum laterally and freeing the arcus marginalis
