Objectives: Surgical procedures on the face are increasingly taking on the characteristics of minimally invasive, by virtue of the sharp decline in patients willing to undergo operations that require a demanding or long-lasting post-operative. Nonetheless, new techniques and materials are too often proposed that sacrifice concrete results on the altar of mini-invasiveness. A Lifting of the eyebrow and the entire upper third of the face is presented through 2 millimeter accesses with the only scarring stigmata of the upper blepharoplasty, if associated with a complete periorbitoplasty.
Materials / method: From September 2018 to date, 12 patients have undergone eyebrow lifting and the entire frontal area without apparent scars. The surgical procedure did not include the aid of video endoscopy or the use of wires or expensive traction devices which at best guarantee a short-lasting effect and unnatural results. The surgery was carried out by freeing the entire frontal region and relocating it to a higher position using fixation devices held in place for about 48 hours; a pleasant "botulinum like" effect accompanies the result for several months; a complete blepharoplasty can also be associated wi
Results: The surgery was carried out by freeing the entire frontal region and relocating it to a higher position using fixation devices held in place for about 48 hours; a pleasant "botulinum like" effect accompanies the result for several months; a complete blepharoplasty can also be associated with the only scar of the upper eyelid.
All the patients showed great satisfaction: the post surgery period was necessary for all of two days, seven to ten days were those necessary for complete recovery.
Conclusion: This procedure, practiced under local anesthesia, promises lasting results, previously achievable only through an endoscopic frontal lifting.
