Abstract
The advantages and disadvantages of various approaches, dissection layers, fixation methods, and additional techniques in eyebrow surgery are discussed. Articles were searched in Scopus, Medline (PubMed), and eLibrary databases. Relevant sources were analyzed. A total of 112 articles were used. Selection of optimal brow lift method, taking into account individual anatomical features and patient preferences is important. Further research is needed to identify surgical techniques with the most effective and long-lasting results.
