ethnic differences brow lift

[Papillon8]

Hi Dr. Rosenberg,
how was your weekend?

I was curious if there are any subtle differences between asian and caucasian brow lifts (coronal and endo mainly)?

Because I read about three dimensional projection onto a 2D plane. for ex. an equal amount of lift on an outward protruding forehead may seem lower than on a forehead that kind of leans back.
Asians generally have flatter foreheads and less prominent brow bones, from what I've observed and from my own forehead, so I was curious if there were any differences?

Thank you so much for consdering my question,

take care,

The degree of brow ptosis probably has less significance in terms of result, than the type of procedure and skill and experience of the operating surgeon.  This is such a subjective area, that I know of no studies that address you question.

Hi again Dr. Rosenberg, thank you very much for replying to my previous response, I really appreciate all your help.

I was wondering if severe brow ptosis is more likely to result in overcorrection and/or improper correction in general than slight to moderate brow ptosis for endo and coronal lifts? and why?

thank you again,
enjoy your week,

In my opinion, the most significant anatomic aspect determining the outcome of a brow lift is the location of the hairline and therefore the position of the incision.  The closer the incision can be placed to the brow, the greater the ease of achieving the result.  While frontal bone shape may play some role, its effect in my opinion, is minor compared with the placement of the incision.
