SUMMARY
Correct positioning of the eyebrows is important for the upper eyelids, both in terms of excess skin as well as the overall esthetics of the lid/orbit region. Because of the ever increasing need of treating both eyelids and eyebrows, an alternative technique for browlifting was developed. By way of minimal incisions in the scalp and superior margins of the eyebrow, an anchor is made and traction exerted with nonabsorbable thread without undermining of the frontal region. Applying this technique to a scientific study, we selecte 1 O patients which were evaluated after short, medium and long periods. The minimum follow-up was 15 months, the maximum 25 months. In this period the elevation of the lift remained at acceptable levels in many patients, while in a few it dropped more. As a result, this procedure was well-accepted by the patients and we had 4 patients with good, 3 with regular and 3 with poor results. We deem this to be a good alternative to the treatment of browptosis.
