This case report describes a unique technique of rhytidectomy in a Bloodhound to repair excessive brow folding and droop complicating underlying entropion. This case posed specific challenges due to the loose fascial plane connective tissue. A large circular area of coronal skin was excised, followed by placement of deep plane walking fixation sutures for cosmetic realignment and to alleviate brow droop. In addition, a modified Hotz‐Celsus procedure and lateral canthoplasty were performed to address the primary entropion. The coronal rhytidectomy was considered a successful approach to repair excessive brow droop in this Bloodhound.
