Long-Term Use of the Fogli Temporal

Moustapha Hamdi, Ph.D.
The senior authors (A.M.V., P.L.T.) have been early adopters of this technique,
Ghent and Brussels, Belgium albeit with some modifications.
Methods: The technique was used in 923 cases, of which 20 percent were per-
formed as an isolated procedure and 80 percent were performed in combina-
tion with a minimal access cranial suspension lift.
Results: Over 8 years of experience has proven the technique to have good
reliability, and to be predictable and safe. Patients with follow-up of 5 years or
more were reviewed, and showed a marked improvement of both lateral hood-
ing and eyebrow position in more than 90 percent of cases, with a relapse rate
of less than 10 percent after 5 years. The complication rate was below 5 percent.
Conclusion: Both surgeon satisfaction and patient satisfaction with this tech-
nique are high.  (Plast. Reconstr. Surg. 135: 282e, 2015.)

marked in continuity with the face-lift undermining, or ends
caudally just below the level of the lateral canthus. Note that
the undermining extends underneath the tail of the eyebrow.
