Forehead Lift
The Center For Aesthetic
Surgery performs brow and forehead lifts to raise
eyebrows and reduce ridges and furrows on the forehead,
thus creating a smoother, more youthful appearance. This
procedure can be performed in conjunction with other
surgeries.
Newer techniques now
allow us to perform Forehead Lifting through small
incisions in the scalp by using an endoscope and
specialized instruments. This accelerates the healing
process.
Endotine™ Forehead and
Brow Lift
What is a TransBleph
Procedure? A TransBleph is a revolutionary combination
in eye rejuvenation that's simple, quick and direct. It
enables your physician to perform a brow lift and upper
eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) through a single, upper
lid incision. It can also be used as a stand-alone
procedure for a subtle brow lift.
Am I a TransBleph
Candidate? If you are undergoing upper eyelid surgery
for cosmetic or optical reasons and would like the
refreshed appearance of a brow lift without a second set
of incisions, then a TransBleph procedure may be for
you.
To get a glimpse of the
potential results, you can try a simple test on your
own. Place your fingertips at the outer one third of
your eyebrows and gently raise the skin upwards. This
will give you a good indication of what the procedure
might do for your appearance.
Even if you do not need
upper eyelid surgery but do want the refreshed
appearance of a subtle brow lift, then TransBleph is
still an option. Of course, the best way to determine if
TransBleph is right for you is by a thorough
consultation with our cosmetic surgeon.
How is a TransBleph
performed? A) During blepharoplasty, the surgeon makes
an incision in the crease of your upper lid and removes
excess skin. This same, upper lid incision provides
direct access to the brow. To perform a TransBleph, the
upper lid incision is advanced (not increased in size)
down to the outer portion of the bone above the eye
socket, known as the orbital rim. A small anchoring hole
is made in the bone. The Endotine™ TransBleph fixation
device is then placed into the hole under the skin. The
brow is raised to the desired height and the TransBleph
securely holds the tissue in its new and elevated
position during healing. Once healing is complete, the
TransBleph is naturally absorbed by the body.
The entire TransBleph
procedure is performed under local anesthesia and can be
completed in just minutes per side.
More About The Endotine™ TransBleph Fixation Device
The Endotine™
TransBleph device offers
a novel and elegant solution designed specifically for
elevating the brow. Its unique structure provides
multiple points of contact—through the use of tines—with
the elevated brow tissue in order to create a more even
and gentle distribution of tension. Other options, such
as screws and sutures, typically provide only one point
of contact, which may stretch or tear through the soft
tissues, adversely affecting brow lift reliability.
The tips of the tines
create a secure grasping surface for the brow tissue.
Current clinical data indicates that while patients can
palpate the tines when they push down on them, there is
very little tenderness. Perhaps most importantly,
patients report a very high level of satisfaction with
their results.*
When implanted, this
patented, multipoint design sits right under the brow
and provides secure fixation and the ability to easily
readjust brow height for optimal correction and
position.
