Randomized trial analyzes efficacy and safety of gliding brow lift in US cohort, suggesting lasting improvements in brow position.
Key Points
To evaluate the efficacy, durability, and safety of the gliding brow lift technique for brow ptosis.
Retrospective review of 60 brows from 30 patients operated on between October 2022 and October 2023, with at least 6 months of follow-up.
Measured vertical distance of brow position using preoperative and postoperative photographs.
Assessed postoperative complications and evaluated safety of the technique.
Average brow height increase of 5.2 mm at the medial canthal distance, 6.3 mm at the mid-pupil, and 7.1 mm at the lateral canthus (all p < 0.01) at 10.5 weeks post-operation.
Minimal average decrease of 0.4 mm at lateral canthal distance noted at the last visit (p = 0.04).
5 cases of subjective brow asymmetry (13.33%) reported, with no serious complications such as hematoma or lasting infections.
