Lateral open forehead lift

The lateral open forehead lift technique uses 2 scalp incisions to elevate and suspend the lateral eyebrows, and 2 upper blepharoplasty incisions to access the muscles that produce glabellar frown lines and depress the medial eyebrows. Advantages of this technique are that side effects associated with the coronal incision, such as hair loss and overelevation of the medial eyebrow, are avoided.
