Abstract:

Disc displacements develop from alterations in the structural integrity of the condyle-disc complex. A definitive treatment that may be considered for such derangements is surgical correction. The goal of surgery is to return the disc to normal functional relationship with the condyle, or replace the disc with an alloplast. Surgery, is, therefore, considered when conservative therapy fails to adequately resolve the symptoms, progression of the disorder occurs, or both.

Abstract:

Subperiosteal rejuvenation of the forehead may be performed through several small incisions in the brow. Small incisions are placed in the hairline and within the hair-bearing portion of the brow. The procedure provides a safe and reliable way to improve the position of the brow. The addition of resorbable screw fixation improves the stability of the brow position postoperatively and facilitates healing in the desired location. Subperiosteal brow lift may be performed successfully by way of minimally invasive incisions with favorable results.
