Understanding The Forehead Through The Endo-Coronal Forehead Lift.

Correction of the aged forehead must address the soft tissue redundancy while minimizing the issues of incisions, paresthesia, and hair loss. In 2006, the senior author (N.A.G.) devised the Endo-Coronal Forehead Lift. A calculated, limited coronal strip is resected based on measurements of soft tissue redundancy. The subgaleal surgical dissection is done endoscopically. The arcus marginalis is preserved, eliminating risk of eyebrow malpositioning. In addition, the resection of the calculated limited strip and endoscopic dissection restores prior anatomy while reducing scarring, numbness, and hair shedding inherent in many open forehead techniques.
