| Popis: | Purpose To propose and demonstrate a technique modification for frontalis suspension to simultaneously address ptosis and diminish abnormalities related to deep superior sulcus defect. Methods Six patients underwent simultaneous frontalis suspension and placement of a superior sulcus dermis-fat graft. Results Postoperative visibility of the cables, anticipated in patients with deep superior sulci, was prevented in these 6 patients. Conclusions Dermis-fat grafting may be added to improve cosmesis after frontalis suspension in patients at risk for postoperative cable visibility. |
