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