A myriad of techniques have been described to correct brow ptosis via a blepharoplasty
incision, mid-forehead incision, endoscopic approach, pretrichial incision, coronal
approach or direct brow lift. There are varying risks and results for each technique
including paresthesia, facial nerve injury, alopecia, and unsightly scars. In this
article we describe the mini-direct browlift technique that utilizes bone anchored
sutures and allows for good cosmesis and control of brow height with minimal morbidity.
