Methods 15 endoscopic forehead-lift cases were treated from 1996 to 1999. The frontal and deep temporal fascia dissection were performed to produce a visualization pocket. The resection of the procerus and corrugator muscles were performed under direct vision to correct the imbalance of the muscles. The periosteum was also released along the supraobital rim. Results The results were satisfactory. The procedure was usually performed to rejuvenate the ptosis of the eyebrow, to eliminate the temporal and glabellar wrinkles as well. Conclusion Small incision, less bleeding, mild numbness and less alopecia are the advantages of endoscopic operation.展开更多
