Unilateral endoscopic forehead lift in facial palsy patient

A 72-year-old man visited our clinic for correction of asymmetrical brow positioning and sagging of the left upper eyelid. The patient had had a left facial palsy for 16 years resulting in a left facial droop, which was especially noticeable in the left eyebrow. As the patient’s facial palsy was unilateral, a unilateral forehead lift and internal fixation using 2-0 PDS were performed, which were appropriate than a bilateral endoscopic forehead lift. This case study aimed to examine how effective unilateral endoscopic forehead lift was for correcting the asymmetric eyebrows for a facial palsy patient.
