TLDR Surgery involving blepharoplasty and an endoscopic forehead lift can rejuvenate the upper face.
The document discussed approaches to rejuvenating the upper face of a Hispanic male patient with a lateral receding hairline, mild brow ptosis, and severe pseudoptosis of the upper eyelid. Dr. Isse recommended a blepharoplasty to excise skin and muscle fibers to address pseudoptosis, along with an endoscopic forehead lift to prevent brow droop post-surgery. This included subgaleal dissection and treatment of specific muscles in the glabellar area. Dr. Fuente del Campo agreed with this approach and suggested elevating the eyebrows by liberating the occipital frontalis muscle. Both doctors emphasized muscle modifications through specific surgical techniques to achieve the desired rejuvenation.
