Aberrant Forehead Sensory Nerves Found in Forehead Lift Surgery

Forehead contains sensory innervations primarily composed of supraorbital, supratrochlear and zygomaticotemporal nerves on each side. These cutaneous nerves branch all wide the forehead and have their anatomical importance. They can be entrapped between muscles and induce headaches, which is the foundation of migraine surgery. On the other hand, during facial rejuvenation it is vital to know their anatomical routes to prevent iatrogenic injuries. Finally, during facial traumas, they are predisposed to lacerations and contusions. So, enough knowledge about these anatomical targets is mandatory.
