Can A Brow Bone Implant Be Placed Just Through Upper Eyelid Incisions?
Q: Dr. Eppley, Is it possible to have a brow ridge or glabella implant placed without using a scalp incision, maybe an upper eyelid incision? Additionally, could hydroxyapatite be an alternative to implants in this area?
A:Custom brow bone implants are usually placed with endoscopic visualization through a very small scalp incision (1.5cms) which may be aided by upper eyelid incisions. Hydroxyapatite cement has many limitations for brow bone augmentation but one of them is that it requires a full coronal scalp incision to place.
