Comparative analysis of the results of temporal lifting according to A. Fogli and a combined technique
Purpose of a study: to compare the results of temporal lifting according to A. Fogli and a combined technique with hemostatic net, and to evaluate the eyebrow tail position in the early and late postoperative periods. Material and methods. A retroand prospective analysis of temporal lifting results in women was conducted from February 2015 to May 2026, with an observation period of 1 year or more. In the first group, 30 patients were operated according to A. Fogli, while in the second group, 30 were operated on using a combined technique with hemostatic net. Eyebrow position was measured via standard projections photographs taken before surgery, one month and one year after surgery, using a graphic editor. Results. In the 1 st group, statistically significant changes in eyebrow height were found at the lateral brow edge (LBE), lateral canthus (LC), and lateral limbus (LL) levels one month after surgery ( p < 0.001). By the year, statistical significance is observed at the levels of the LBE ( p < 0.001) and LC ( p = 0.001). In the 2 nd group, statistical significance of changes in eyebrow height per month and per year after surgery was revealed at the levels of the LBE, LC, LL, and pupil center (PC) ( p < 0.001). The maximum lift was recorded at the level of the LBE (3.77 ± 1.59) mm after the first month and (1.66 ± 0.94) mm per year after surgery in the 1[st] group, in the 2[nd] group (3.95 ± 1.54) mm and (2.10 ± 0.98) mm, respectively. At the level of the LBE per year after surgery, the eyebrow height in the first group was lower than in the second ( p = 0.0478). In an intergroup comparison of changes in eyebrow position relative to preoperative, brow elevation in the second group was greater than in the first group at one month of follow-up at the LC, LL, PC, and medial limbus (ML) levels, and at one year at the LBE, LC, LL, PC, ML, and medial canthus (MC) levels ( p < 0.05). Conclusion. Patients who underwent surgery using the combined technique demonstrated greater brow tail elevation compared to those treated according to A. Fogli's at both one month and one year postoperatively.
