Brow ptosis, the downward migration of periorbital soft tissues, is a common occurrence that steadily increases in persons 50 years and older. This condition may pose functional and cosmetic concerns for the patient. Depending on the severity, those affected may complain of issues such as visual field obstruction or an unappealing resting facial aesthetic. Many surgical and non-surgical techniques have been developed for managing this age-related process. One of these procedures is the direct brow lift. Clinicians specializing in facial rejuvenation techniques should thoroughly understand the medical and surgical management of brow ptosis. These techniques can help avoid complications, optimize the results, and better achieve the patient’s goals.Participants gain an in-depth understanding of brow ptosis, its prevalence, and its impact on patients’ functional and cosmetic well-being, especially those older than 50. The focus is on the direct brow lift procedure, exploring its nuances, indications, and potential outcomes. The complexities of patient evaluation, surgical techniques, and postoperative care specific to periorbital aging are discussed. The course emphasizes the collaborative nature of addressing periorbital aging through the direct brow lift. The significance of an interprofessional team, including surgeons, nurses, anesthesiologists, and rehabilitation specialists, is emphasized. Collaborative learning experiences are highlighted to enhance competence in patient assessment, preoperative planning, intraoperative execution, and postoperative care.
