Surgical technique

The frontal muscle is responsible for the appearance of the transversal lines on the forehead.

The corrugator and procerus muscles, on the other hand, are responsible for the wrinkles between the eyebrows. 

With age, the eyebrows may fall, making the look sad, and disturbing the visual field.

The surgery can be performed by the open or videoendoscopic technique, depending on each case.

In both cases, the forehead tissues are detached. And the muscles responsible for the frontal and glabellar wrinkles are treated. 

The eyebrows are then repositioned, being elevated to a natural position. 

In general, the incision is totally hidden within the hair, whether it is performed by the open or video endoscopic technique.

In cases where the implantation of the hair is very high, a discreet incision positioned at the hairline may be necessary.

Post-surgical recommendations

It is recommended to keep the head elevated and use cold compresses during the recovery to reduce the edema. Soon after the procedure, it is possible to notice the results, but they become more visible as the purple spots and the edemas disappear.
