| description | INTRODUCTION: A frequent aesthetic problem that occurs in the aging process is the drooping of the eyebrows, more common and evident in the mid lateral aspect.
METHODS: In order to obtain a satisfactory cosmetic result associated with minimal scar extension, we present a less invasive technique, indicated for select patients who present with dermatochalasis and lateral eyebrow sliding.
RESULTS: This technique showed to be an easy procedure to execute and resulted in satisfactory aesthetic outcomes, similar to the technique described by Castañares, with the advantage of scar limited to the lateral region.
CONCLUSIONS: As another option for the surgical elevation of the eyebrow lateral third segment, an easy Z-type skin flap transposition is a cost-effective procedure that can offer less evident scars with a natural aesthetic effect in this exposed area of the face. |
