Zusammenfassung:Endoscopic brow lift has now become a well-established procedure for restoring a youthful brow. Multiple techniques have been described for fixation of the scalp; however, these methods do not allow for direct positioning of the brow. A simple method is described that establishes precise and direct brow fixation using K-wires. Twelve female patients underwent direct fixation of the brow with one or more K-wires to the supraorbital rim. No complications occurred as a result of this technique. Direct brow fixation with K-wires appears to be a simple effective technique for precise restoration of brow position.
