Eyebrow Lift: Open-Book ROOF Transposition and Orbicularis-Frontalis Sliding Maneuver.

This article delves into innovative surgical techniques, the open-book ROOF (retro-orbicularis oculi fat) transposition technique (OBRoof) and the orbicularis-frontalis sliding maneuver (OFS), designed for eyebrow and upper eyelid rejuvenation in the aging process. Emphasis is placed on understanding the dynamic changes occurring within the forehead and eyebrow envelope's five layers and their intrinsic relationships as well as the impact of the ROOF ptosis causing upper eyelid hooding. The OBRoof technique is highlighted for its effectiveness in addressing ptotic volume, offering a rejuvenated appearance by relocating volume to the supraciliary region.In the OFS, we explore the concept of extensive dissection above the upper border of the eyebrow to allow for free repositioning of the eyebrow. The stabilization is based on deep-plane facelift concepts, as the orbicularis oculi muscle corresponds to the superficial muscular aponeurotic system, and it is anchored to the deep layers (periosteum) by passing through the frontal muscle.In summary, this article provides a comprehensive exploration of innovative and minimally invasive techniques for eyebrow and upper eyelid rejuvenation, shedding light on their anatomical foundations, procedural intricacies, and the potential for achieving natural and lasting outcomes.
