The eyebrow lift is one of the most useful procedures in facial rejuvenation but the scars of the traditional forehead lift makes this a difficult operation to recommend to patients.
Endoscopic procedures require special equipment which adds to the cost of the procedure.
A simple alternative has been used by the author for five years to suspend the eye-brows with simple prolene sutures anchored to the galea. No incisions are made in the eye-brow and the only special instrument required is a spinal needle. Long term stable positioning is possible and the brows may also be re-shaped. The post-operative period may be quite painful in the first 24 hours but settles soon. The brows may be elevated afterwards but cannot be depressed, and the appearance is very natural.
