Elevation and fixation of the lateral brow and canthus

Abstract

Elevation of the lateral brow is accomplished by thorough dissection of the temporal pocket inferiorly to the zygomatic arch and canthus. Fixation of the released and elevated temporal flaps is thought to be primarily accomplished by re-adherence of the flap. Fixation is performed by placement of one or two sutures to engage the temporoparietal fascia flap inferiorly and the deep temporal fascia superotemporally.
