Foreheadplasty—A Selective Approach

Abstract

The importance of resecting a strip of galea in surgery for the elimination of forehead wrinkles is reemphasized. High placement and conservative excision of the frontalis muscle will prevent depression. Elevation of ptotic eyebrows requires a separate procedure. Segmented lift of lower brow is discussed to suit individual need. These procedures are not without pitfalls, but they can be easily prevented by careful planning and execution.
