Forehead Augmentation After Endoscopic Browlift?

After an endoscopic browlift is performed, is it still possible to get a forehead augmentation using implants (silicone, bone cement, etc)? With the coronal forehead lift, I know that while the forehead is exposed, you can insert an implant, but how would this work with an endobrow?

Forehead augmentation can be done but can affect the results of previous browlifts

You can augment the forehead with silicone after a browlift. One of the issues is that the augmentation will affect what was done with the previous browlift and you will sometimes need to refix the brows and allow them to fixate in the newer position. Browlifts depend on the fixation of the bone to the bone covering and the soft tissue that covers the forehead. When you dissect to implant something into the forehead it will break that bond.

Forehead Lift and Augmentation.

Augmentation of the forehead and forehead lift can both be done at the same time whether the procedure is done with an endoscope or openly.

This is usually not performed through an endoscopic approach but through an open coronal approach.

Forehead plastic surgery & augmentation with endobrow

Yhl4, Placing material such silicone, implants, bone cement, or titanium into the forehead may be inserted through the small endoscopic brow incisions. Although, it depends on how large the intended implant is. Forehead augmentation or cranioplasty normally requires more exposure, which is provided via a coronal incision. Patients who have had extensive head trauma, neurosurgery, congenital abnormalities, or cancer surgery may require reconstructive cranioplasty. None of these patients... more
