For the past 2 years, we have sought to develop a stable and reliable
technique for soft-tissue suspension in the endoscopic browlift, while
eliminating the need for permanent or temporary anchoring screws. To
this end, we have developed an outer calvarial table fixation techniqu
e. This technique allows direct fixation of the periosteum or galea to
the outer table of the frontal bone through the use of an outer table
calvarial tunnel. The technique has been used in 34 patients, 21 of w
hich were followed for more than a year. The results have been consist
ent and reliable. We feel this technique affords precise control of so
ft tissue suspension during endoscopic browlift, providing long-lastin
g elevation and lateral advancement of the brow complex.
