High chairs: which is best for my baby?
By Anna Studman
High chairs come in a variety of different guises. Find out the pros and cons of each type to make sure you buy the best high chair for your baby.

Our Test Labs compare features and prices on a range of products. Try Which? to unlock our reviews. You'll instantly be able to compare our test scores, so you can make sure you don't get stuck with a Don't Buy.
High chairs should all do one most important thing – keep your little one safe and secure while he or she begins to explore the wonderful world of food.
Children are usually ready to start using a high chair at between six and nine months old, once they can sit up unaided. Parents tell us they usually buy a high chair when their baby reaches around five months old.
But, as with other baby products, there's a huge amount of choice out there. Prices range from just a few pounds for a basic high chair to a few hundred pounds for multifunction or convertible high chairs that will grow with your child or come with multi-height settings and varied-position trays, and are more like a piece of furniture than just a high chair.
Buy the right high chair to make meal times less stressful for the whole family, including your baby. Which? tests every high chair for safety, ease of use, assembly and cleaning.
Choose the high chair type that's right for you from all the different types below. Then browse our high chair Best Buys.

Standard high chairs
A standard high chair is one of the most basic styles available and tends to have one height position (so you'll need to decide if that height is right for you before you buy). You can buy lightweight fold-up versions, and models with useful extras such as a detachable tray.
Prices usually start at around £50, though we have found some for as cheap as £9.
- Tend to be cheaper than other high chairs
- Usually lightweight, so great if you'll move it about a lot
- Some fold flatter than other types, so perfect for storing
- Basic, no-frills option
- Less versatile than other high chairs
- Non-adjustable seat height
Multifunctional high chairs
These offer a lot more than standard high chairs. You can move the seat up, down and back, according to where you prefer to feed your baby. Many have five or six height positions – particularly useful for mums, dads and all the family to be able to get involved at mealtimes. Most come with varied-position trays to match.
Prices start at around £80.
- Height adjustability offers extra flexibility – you can feed your baby at a higher level, and toddlers can sit lower down when feeding themselves
- Most are foldable, even with the extra padding
- Not much more expensive than a standard basic model
- Some models can be heavy and cumbersome to use and move
- Can be quite large, so not the best option if you're short on space
- The extra padding can be fiddly to keep clean
Combination and convertible high chairs
This group of high chairs covers two different types. The first kind can be used as a high chair for younger babies then unscrewed and turned into a toddler-sized chair, then a child-sized seat and low table, for when your child can feed himself. Then there are convertible high chairs, such as the Stokke Tripp Trapp and Little Saints HiLo. These can't be split into separate pieces of furniture, but can be adapted as your child grows by adjusting the high chair. Most high chairs in these groups are wooden and fairly bulky, but they will last longer.
Prices start at around £100.
- Last much longer than other types, some can be used as furniture for children up to five
- Some toddlers feel more grown up – and eat more happily – with their own chair and table
- Wooden high chairs look great and are a popular choice to match other furniture and decor
- They're big, bulky and won't be a good choice if you have limited storage
- Some can be difficult to assemble and fiddly to swap between modes
- More expensive than other options
Portable high chairs
Travel or portable high chairs are a great choice for holidays, especially if you're off to a restaurant and can't be sure there are high chairs available, or if you're likely to be visiting child-free relatives or friends.
There are various types available, including chair harnesses which are made of fabric and attach to a dining chair using the straps supplied, and fold-up, box-shaped booster seats. These, as the name suggested, are box-shaped and fold out to create a little booster seat which straps to a chair. Some even come with trays.
Fabric chair harnesses cost from just £10.
- Lightweight and easy to fold
- Easily transportable, some pack up small enough to put in a changing bag
- Some – though not all – can be used instead of a standard high chair at home
- They don't come with any fancy features, such as trays and cup holders
- Some babies may not like using the fabric harness seats
- They're not as sturdy as a standard high chair

The short-term outcome of the modified Sauvé-Kapandji procedure regarding range of motion, carpal bone translation and bony shelf size

The Sauvé-Kapandji (S-K) procedure is a common treatment for rheumatoid wrists, but in some cases severe bone destruction makes this operative modality difficult to perform, while also resulting in a poor outcome. A modified S-K procedure for these wrists has been reported, but the clinical outcomes of the modified procedure are unclear. This study evaluated 24 wrists in 20 patients who underwent the modified S-K procedure. The mean follow-up period was 34.5 months. The clinical assessments were range of motion, carpal bone translation and bony shelf size. The range of motion and carpal bone translation were similar to those produced by the S-K procedure. In regard to bony shelf size, wrists with an excessively large bony shelf tended to have a progression of carpal bone translation toward the palmar direction due to the residual malposition of the ECU tendon. The modified S-K procedure appears to be a safe and effective surgical alternative for the treatment of severely destroyed rheumatoid wrists. Although the modified procedure allows for the adjustment of the bony shelf size, it should not be used with wrists that have an excessively large bony shelf. © 2010 Japan College of Rheumatology.

Introduction: Torsion of the vermiform appendix is a rare disorder, which causes abdominal symptoms indistinguishable from acute appendicitis and is found by chance during the laparotomy. Case presentation: We report a case (a 76-year-old male) suffering of torsion of the vermiform appendix with fecalith. It was twisted 540 degrees in an anti-clockwise direction. Appendectomy was done. Conclusion: Appendiceal torsion may be assocated with the presence of fecalith. This case is the oldest one among the patients with appendiceal torsion reported to literature. © 2008 Wani et al; licensee BioMed Central Ltd. Source

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of octreotide for malignant bowel obstruction in a multicenter study. Methods: Terminally ill patients diagnosed with inoperable malignant bowel obstruction were treated with octreotide 300 μg/day. The primary endpoint was the overall improvement rate of subjective abdominal symptoms. The degrees of nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, distension, anorexia, fatigue, thirst and overall quality of life were evaluated by the self-rating scores selected from the MD Anderson Symptoms Inventory and Kurihara's Face Scale. Results: Forty-nine patients were enrolled in the study, and 46 patients received study treatment, including 17 gastric, 13 colorectal, 7 ovarian and other cancers. The median survival time was 25 days. The number of vomiting episodes significantly correlated with the MD Anderson Symptoms Inventory nausea and vomiting scores (P , 0.001) before octreotide treatment. Of 43 patients evaluable for efficacy, the scores of all the MD Anderson Symptoms Inventory items except abdominal pain and the number of vomiting episodes improved during the first 4 days of octreotide treatment (P< 0.0062). The MD Anderson Symptoms Inventory scores were decreased in 59-72% of patients, and overall quality-of-life scores improved in 56% of patients. No serious adverse events were observed. Conclusions: The high improvement rate in abdominal symptoms suggested the efficacy of octreotide in terminally ill patients with malignant bowel obstruction. © The Author (2010).

Background : The propensity of Ascaris lumbricoides to wander leads to varied surgical complications in the abdomen. Wandering A lumbricoides may sometimes reach the vermiform appendix and its presence there may remain silent or incite pathology. Our aim was to study ascariadial appendicitis. Methods : Over a period of 3 years, we identified children who were found to have appendiceal ascariasis during surgery for different intestinal complications due to ascariasis. We studied the relationship between ascariasis and its lodgement inside the vermiform appendix in these patients. No preoperative diagnosis was made in this series. Results : We found 11 patients with appendiceal ascariasis. It was incidentally found that 8/11 (72.7%) patients had worms inside their vermiform appendix but not appendicitis, whereas the remaining three patients (27.2%) were found to have Ascaris-associated appendicitis. The characteristic finding in Ascaris-infested vermiform appendix was that the worm is positioned with its head at the base and its tail at the tip of the appendix. Conclusion : Migration of A lumbrocoides inside the vermiform appendix is an incidental finding and tends to pursue a silent course in most patients. Only rarely does the presence of Ascaris inside the vermiform appendix cause appendicitis. Source

Background: Breakthrough cancer pain typically has a rapid onset and relatively short duration. Due to this temporal profile, it may not be adequately relieved by oral opioid analgesics. The sublingual fentanyl orally disintegrating tablet is a formulation by which fentanyl can be rapidly absorbed across the oral mucosa producing rapid-onset analgesia, and which may be effective for breakthrough pain treatment. Methods: A multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind comparative study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the sublingual fentanyl tablet at optimized doses for breakthrough pain treatment in cancer patients treated with strong opioid analgesics at fixed intervals. The optimal dose was determined by open-label dose titration. The efficacy and safety of a 12-week extended treatment were also evaluated. Results: Eleven of 42 subjects who received the sublingual fentanyl tablet experienced adverse drug reactions. Common reactions were somnolence, constipation, nausea, and vomiting. No serious adverse reactions occurred. Sublingual fentanyl tablets at optimal doses and placebo were administered to 37 subjects in a double-blinded manner. A significant analgesic effect of the sublingual fentanyl tablet was present compared to placebo at 30 min after administration. The sublingual fentanyl tablet was also effective and safe during extended treatment, in which changes in basal opioid doses as well as sublingual fentanyl tablet doses were made as needed. Conclusion: Sublingual fentanyl tablets at doses determined by titration were effective and safe for breakthrough pain treatment in cancer patients treated with strong opioid analgesics at fixed intervals. Extended treatment up to 12 weeks was also effective and safe. © 2014, Japan Society of Clinical Oncology. Source

Pricing the Commonality Across Alternative Measures of Liquidity
Robert A. Korajczyk
Northwestern University - Kellogg School of Management
Ronnie Sadka
Boston College - Carroll School of Management
September 13, 2007
We estimate latent factor models of liquidity, aggregated across various liquidity measures. Shocks to assets' liquidity have a common component across measures which accounts for most of the explained variation in individual liquidity measures. We find that across-measure systematic liquidity is a priced factor while within-measure systematic liquidity does not exhibit additional pricing information. Controlling for across-measure systematic liquidity risk, there is some evidence that liquidity, as a characteristic of assets, is priced in the cross-section. Our results are robust to the inclusion of other equity characteristics and risk factors, such as market capitalization, book-to-market, and momentum.

Concern Worldwide, with the support of the European Union, has partnered with Architecture for Humanity Haiti on a very ambitious neighborhood upgrading project. Architecture for Humanity will engage the community of Grand-Ravine in a participatory planning process to implement development strategies, reconstruction and urban planning in this challenging community. The residents of this self-governed slum are vulnerable to inclement weather, high crime rates and lack of proper infrastructure. Haiti has entered its rainy season which makes life in Grand-Ravine very difficult. Constant flooding of the ravine [which in normal time serves as the main thoroughfare connecting the various neighborhoods] limits accessibility of the residents. For the next 10 months, our team will be meeting with the community leaders to devise and implement a plan that will help reinforce the fabric of the community and help the residents voice and prioritize their collective needs.
College Mixte Le bon Berger Montrouis phase 2
On June 5th, the school principal, Mr. D'Or signed the contract for the construction works with Mr. Duverna from the construction firm Design Action. The second phase will be completed by August 31, 2013 just in time to welcome the students on September 2nd 2013. Design Action started demolition work on June 3rd, 2013. The firm who successfully built the first phase building was selected after a competitive bid process.
Participatory Community Development on Ile a Vache

Construction on the Phase One classroom building continues at "College Coeur Immacule de Marie" the all-girls school in Bois Verna, a historic neighborhood of Port au Prince. The design and construction team plans to lead a tour of the building site with the students and teachers who have been very curious about what is going on behind the construction fence. We will show them the massive rebar work going inside the concrete. The foundation is almost completed. This project alone stimulated the recovery of about 25 construction jobs. See below...
February News
The clear bleu waters of Ile A Vache. The small virgin Island on the south peninsula of Haiti, is one of Haiti's most popular tourist sites. While the GOH has drafted of a Preliminary Master Plan to develop a nature-based tourism better known as Eco tourism, we are conducting a participatory community action plan with a grant from WK Kellogg Foundation. We aim to weave healthy self-reliant communities where children can have better opportunities for success.
"Where would we be without you!?! The expertise you've provided and the partners you've connected us to have fueled our vision."
- John Engle, Co-Director, Haiti Partners
"I admire the participatory and collaborative method of Architecture for Humanity. It's an approach that has impressed a lot of people. We have faith that the project will come off properly."
- Will Civil, member of Komite Humanitaire de Villa Rosa and resident of Morne Rosa
"Among our students, some may become lawyers, other doctors or architects to help this country, and the first step is this school."

Our third annual update on our long-term post disaster work in Haiti finds the Rebuilding Center continuing its holistic strategy to rebuild buildings, neighborhoods, industries and economies. We would like take a moment today and bring our supporters and fans up to speed on our progress, and to thank them for their continued support and enthusiasm for our work. Thank you.
In 2012 we continued our well-regarded work in construction outreach, training and design services, have built exciting partnerships with local Haitian banks to support business loan programs, and have established a strong community-based planning platform for the grassroots development and strengthening of neighborhoods. The Center was able to expand the scope of its services by launching three autonomous studios: Architecture and Construction; Planning; and Economic Development. This arrangement allows for more specialized pursuit of a broader range of projects while improving collaboration within the Rebuilding Center. See below for more details on each of these studios.
The Rebuilding Center also continues to transition to Haitian ownership and operation. We have brought all administration and management roles in-house, most of which being performed by Haitian nationals. This transition is crucial to the success of the Center as a Haitian effort to perpetuate good construction and collaboration years into the future.
The impact metrics below reflect our work as of January 12, 2013:
6.3 million Dollars in construction funding leveraged by the Rebuilding Center in 2012 alone
48,000 Beneficiaries from clinics built in 2012
2100 Students gaining access to safe & delightful classrooms last year
400 Haitian jobs created or recovered in 2012
Hundreds of design and construction professionals participating in our monthly Meet n Greet open house and Haitian lecture series
46 Participants of 10 professional seminars to date
36 Community design workshops and charrettes held to date, with an average of 25 people attending each charrette
32 Architects, engineers and support staff at the Rebuilding Center - including 4 long-term professional volunteers and 22 Haitian staffers
9 School projects - 3 fully complete, 4 completed phase one or partially open, 2 in construction
9 Projects completed in 2012, with 7 in design and construction, and still others in initial stages of development

In an effort to address more systemic challenges, the Rebuilding Center formalized a Planning Studio and team to lead outreach and mapping, workshops and charrettes, and partnerships that empower neighborhood residents to rebuild their communities.
Haiti Rural Mapping Initiative
With a grant from the WK Kellogg Foundation, Architecture for Humanity has completed the physical mapping of 11 communes across southern and central Haiti. This represents 25% of the country and for many towns and villages is the first time these areas have been mapped. All maps were incorporated into the online open source platform openstreetmap.org and integrated into the national geospatial database. Design Fellow and project manager Olivia Stinson explains how it all got done.
Villa Rosa and Sainte Marie
The Rebuilding Center completed the Community Action Plan for this primarily informal Port-au-Prince neighborhood in collaboration with Cordaid, UN Habitat and many other partners. This included extensive reconstruction of physical infrastructure, public spaces and housing. Rebuilding Center volunteer Nazanin Mehregan discusses the community mapping and workshop process that informs community plans.
Design & Construction
Construction Program
The big success story of the year has been the in-house construction work carried out by our Construction Management Team. This work builds on the construction outreach program whereby our engineers have been trained in design and construction and are now acting as small scale contractors on a variety of on-budget, on-schedule, autonomous projects including the Elie Dubois Kitchen and Villa Rosa's Infrastructure and Basketball Court.
In March 2010 we set out to design and build 10 schools on a phased basis. While we still do not have all the funding required, 3 are now fully complete, phase 1 at 3 more is now complete and ongoing on the other schools, and phase 2 is underway on 6 schools. The program is growing steadily and the unique character of each school is being complemented by a piece of commissioned civic art.
Three primary care facilities were completed in 2012. These clinics provide essential daily care to thousands of people, particularly in rural areas.
Property Law Working Group
The Rebuilding Center is participating in an interdisciplinary working group assessing, clarifying and proposing reforms to Haiti's property law system, widely viewed as an obstruction to permanent reconstruction around the country. The final report of the first year's research is expected in early 2013. Planning Design Fellow Rickie Siegel explains the complex factors that the Group is addressing. We will post the report as soon as it is available on the Rebuilding Center update page.
Economic Development
Much progress has been made this year on a small and medium enterprise (SME) loan program - a first for Haitian banks financing business reconstruction. At this writing, 12 loans are going through due diligence at four banks, and a fifth local bank has expressed interest in the program.
Discussions relating to housing microfinance loans have been ongoing with local and international institutions.
For a full list of our active (15) and completed (19) projects, please visit the Haiti Rebuilding Center Project Hub Page.
At long last.... We are eager to share with you that the classroom building of phase 1 of Ecole Baptiste Bon Berger, Pele, Haiti is substantially complete. The school site is located in Simon Pele, on the outskirts Citi Soleil in Haiti, which has bad reputation for violence and high concentration of underpriviledged children. This project location was a challlenge however, we've defeated the odds. (see below)

Healing and Education through the Arts. Architecture for Humanity has implemented a civic art program featuring the work of local Haitian artisans. The earthquake had as devastating an impact on the culture of Haiti as it did on its buildings, streets and lives. There is now the risk that as Haiti rebuilds that much of her culture will be forgotten as art and artists are foregone in favor of more utilitarian responses. We believe that Haiti needs the restorative effects that a civic arts program could bring. See below

Happy birthday lovely ladies!! 🎂🎉🍹🍾
binnielici (19-05-2016)
I am up for the third time tonight it's only midnight. Sigh. No sleep again for me tonight.
I am sitting outside on our front balcony with DS and DD. We say 'bye bye daddy' from the front balcony. I am also planning a trip to the library today (hopefully) for DS. Entertaining toddlers is hard - or is that just me?
sunnygirl79 (19-05-2016)
Yes toddlers are hard to entertain. My Ds1 isn't a toddler anymore but I do get it. He was never one to play happily on his own, needs constant attention and entertaining. I take him to swim lessons, kiddie kicks soccer and kindy sports (ready steady go, it's a national program worth looking up!). It's commitment to get there each week but wears him out and I can chill with a coffee/breastfeed while I watch him.
My days where I have no activities planned are the worst! Trying to hook up with a friend who also has a 4 yr old son and baby.
'I want something else to eat mummy' x10 in the space of a minue. Give him his options of food. And he wants noodle snacks! No noodle snacks! Then he starts over.
So looking forward to walking. I put him in the pram and he talks but I can't hear him and only reply 'yes DS' etc and he is happy and I have some peace.
Little Miss Sunshine (19-05-2016),sunnygirl79 (20-05-2016)
Sitting at my dining table with a coffee enjoying the golden silence. DH is on annual leave and sleeping in (it's his birthday today so I think I'll let him 😉) and DD has been unwell so she's still in bed, too. We're all meant to be going out to the Pancake Parlour for DH's bday breakfast but I guess sleeping is just as good!
Waiting for DS to be bored of the library. We did storytime and he is now playing with the toys. I am considering napping on the couch near the kids area...

I've had a few notices come to my Linkedin box lately from organizations seeking a HERITAGE PRESENTATION SPECIALIST. A decade ago I wouldn't have batted an eye – but today, it causes me to stop and reflect.
Times have changed. Do we want to 'present' to our visitors our culture, history or heritage? Or do we want to engage them, tap the senses, ignite their curiosity? The increased attention to the emerging field of customer experience management, akak visitor experience management in tourism, requires we stop and think about the meaning of words. The impact they have on perceptions, and infact how we look at the contributions of our staff.
Visitor Engagement Specialist would be so much better!

Objective To determine the efficacy, longevity, and safety of BioGlue Surgical Adhesive for periosteal fixation in endoscopic browlifts.
Methods Retrospective review of 80 patients who underwent endoscopic browlift using BioGlue as the primary means of periosteal fixation. Visits were categorized as preoperative, 1 to 2 months, 3 to 6 months, and 7 to 12 months, and photographs of the first 15 patients were evaluated for change in brow position at each of these visits. Brow position was measured at the lowest brow hairs at the midpupillary and lateral canthus positions. Follow-up was 3 months to 3 years.
Results All of the first 15 patients were included in the 1- to 2-month postoperative grouping, 13 in the 3- to 6-month grouping, and 10 in the 7- to 12-month grouping. At all postoperative visits, brow elevation was significantly maintained during 12-month follow-up. Revision has been required in only 1 of 80 patients to date.
Conclusions BioGlue is an effective and safe method of maintaining brow position in endoscopic browplasty. Brow elevation achieved using BioGlue was significantly maintained during the 7- to 12-month postoperative period. Tissue adhesives such as BioGlue have the potential to become significant adjuncts in facial plastic surgery and warrant more critical evaluation.
Endoscopic browplasty has become a standard method of forehead rejuvenation since its introduction in the 1990s. Endoscopic rejuvenation provides predictable results and uses a less invasive approach, making it attractive to patients and surgeons. The ideal optical pocket for the endoscopic approach is subperiosteal owing to reduced bleeding, ease of dissection, and identification of neurovascular landmarks. The success of the endoscopic approach, therefore, depends on fixation of the periosteum to the underlying bone once these forces have been released. Readherence of the periosteum to the underlying cortex will occur by the natural wound-healing response; however, it is critical to provide proper fixation of the periosteum−soft tissue complex in the desired position until this fibrosis has occurred.
Great interest exists in determining the time required for periosteal reattachment and the most effective means of fixation during this critical period. Although animal studies1-4 suggest that 1 to 12 weeks is required for periosteal reattachment, recent evidence2, 5 suggests that at least 6 weeks of fixation may be necessary to allow the periosteum adequate time to readhere to its new location on the frontal bone cortex. Although direct studies in humans have not been performed, clinical studies corroborate the findings from the animal studies.
For fixation, a plethora of options have been described, including exterior bolster sutures, spanning fixation sutures, transcutaneous screws, cortical bone tunnels, and absorbable subcutaneous cleats (Endotines; Coapt Systems Inc, Palo Alto, Calif).6-15 Although each fixation option has variable effectiveness, they all have downsides from the perspective of patient acceptance and surgical difficulty. Included are the need for drilling into the skull (which many patients find unfavorable), the potential for intracranial complications, the risk of foreign body complications, and the lack of duration of effectiveness due to "cheese wiring" through soft tissue when suture suspension techniques are used. Consequently, there has been interest in the use of tissue adhesives that can be easily inserted into the optical cavity to fixate the periosteum−soft tissue complex in the desired position. Historically, Tisseel (Baxter Inc, Deerfield, Ill) has been reportedas an alternative to rigid fixation techniques. However, with low bonding strength and duration of effectiveness, one of us (C.M.S.) and others have found limited reproducible results using this (primarily hemostatic) agent for brow fixation.
BioGlue Surgical Adhesive (CryoLife Inc, Kennesaw, Ga) is primarily a complex of purified serum albumin and glutaraldehyde and is approved by the Food and Drug Administration for hemostasis in cardiac procedures such as aortic dissection repair and valve replacement.16-20 Significant tissue adhesion is achieved by the polymerization of lysine molecules from the albumin, the glutaraldehyde, and any juxtaposed protein-containing tissue. This bond has a strength potential of up to 1500 kilopascals (kPa), which can be contrasted with fibrin glue's bond of approximately 150 kPa.21 It is, therefore, capable of creating a bond that is effective for tissue fixation. In addition, the material elicits a limited foreign body reaction, as seen on histologic studies, and is reabsorbed within 2 years.21 As a result, BioGlue has been the primary method of periosteal fixation in endoscopic browplasty used by one of us (C.M.S.) for the past 2 years. In this study, we retrospectively evaluate our experience with 80 patients who underwent endoscopic browplasty using BioGlue as the primary means of brow fixation. The first 15 consecutive patients of the 80 were then used to measure the preoperative and postoperative brow position to objectively determine the long-term efficacy of BioGlue in maintaining brow position.
Between July 1, 2002, and December 1, 2004, 80 patients with brow ptosis underwent endoscopic browplasty with BioGlue fixation by 1 of us (C.M.S.) in university and private practice settings. Institutional review board approval from the University of California at San Francisco was obtained for reviewing medical records and facial photographs. Patients were evaluated before and after surgery on days 1, 3, 10, and 14 for any complications, such as hematoma, fluid collections, infection, and recidivism. Subsequently, patients were followed up at 3- to 4-month intervals for up to 1 year. Only the first 15 consecutive patients of 80 were used to objectively determine change in brow position. For this evaluation, postoperative periods were grouped into a 1- to 2-month category, a 3- to 6-month category, and a 7- to 12-month category.
Standardized photographs were taken before and after surgery using a dedicated photography lane with a mounted FinePix S2 Pro Digital SLR (Fuji, Tokyo, Japan) and clinical imaging software (Mirror; Canfield Scientific Inc, Fairfield, NJ). Photographs were obtained by 2 trained staff members to help reduce variability between photographs, and all the photographs were taken with the patients positioned appropriately using the Frankfurt horizontal plane. The standard views for browplasty were obtained, including a single anteroposterior view, bilateral three-quarter views, and bilateral lateral views.
From the digital images, measurements were taken from the patients' anteroposterior views using the measuring tool included in the Mirror imaging software. Because the interpupillary distance for a given individual is constant throughout adult life, it was used to calibrate all that patient's photographs. If variability existed between photographs from a single patient owing to a slight variation in the distance at which the patients were photographed, calibrating the interpupillary distance to match the preoperative photograph's value minimized photographic inconsistencies. After calibration of the measuring tool, brow position was assessed by taking bilateral measurements from 2 different sites. The first measurement was the vertical distance from the midpupillary point to the lowest row of eyebrow hairs (MP). The second measurement was the vertical distance from the lateral canthus to the lowest row of eyebrow hairs (LC). Five individual values, including the interpupillary distance, were recorded for each patient photograph.
Data were then compiled into a spreadsheet program (MS Excel; Microsoft Corp, Redmond, Wash), and the values of the preoperative and postoperative photographs were compared. Because the interpupillary distance is a constant in each individual and the photographs are calibrated to all have constant interpupillary distances, the preoperative and postoperative MP and LC values can be directly compared. Data are reported as a percentage increase from the baseline preoperative MP and LC values. Mean values for each postoperative grouping were then calculated, and a paired t test was used to determine whether differences in means were statistically significant. Ninety-five percent confidence intervals were calculated to determine the significance of the increase in distances at the MP and LC locations. Patients were monitored for any potential adverse effects associated with either the surgery or the use of BioGlue.
After appropriate anesthesia, the patient is prepared and draped in the typical sterile manner for facial and brow surgery. The eyes are protected with small transparent patches (Tegaderm; 3M, St Paul, Minn) cut in half and affixed so as not to pull the brows downward.
Incisions are made in the usual manner 5 to 10 mm behind the anterior hairline in the midline and over each lateral canthus. Temporal incisions are also made where the plane of dissection is directly on the superficial layer of the deep temporal fascia. The conjoined tendon is taken down from the temporal pockets. Subgaleal dissection is performed in a sweeping manner posteriorly from the hairline incisions to the crown, and then a subperiosteal dissection is performed caudally toward the brow. The endoscope is used once the dissection is within 1 to 2 cm of the brow. Careful attention is given so that there is good release of the periosteum along the whole orbital rim, especially laterally. Suction cautery is used to achieve hemostasis and to create myotomies of the procerus and corrugator muscles. Periostotomies are also performed using the suction cautery device approximately 1 cm above the orbital rims. Without this maneuver, the periosteum may be too rigid and may limit complete mobilization of the brows cephalically. The cavity is then irrigated and suctioned. Next, the forehead skin is dried and 1-in sterile skin closure strips (Steri-Strips; 3M) are applied to the middle of the forehead over the lateral canthi to provide upward traction on the brow during BioGlue application and for further support of the brow during the early healing period. The BioGlue applicator tip is primed immediately before use. The user has approximately 60 seconds after priming to apply the adhesive over the bone. Using skin hooks, the brow and the periosteum are elevated from the cortical bone and retracted superolaterally, creating a pocket, and 2 mL of BioGlue is inserted through the central scalp incision, staying at least 2 cm above the orbital rim. Pulling cephalad and then downward, the brow is repositioned appropriately. It is held here for 2 minutes. Because the polymerization of BioGlue is rapid, it is best to determine the proper position of the brow before fixation. The wounds are now closed in a single-layer manner using surgical clips, and the 1-inch closure strips already attached to the forehead are secured to the hair-bearing scalp using surgical clips to help support the new brow position. A standard face-lift–browlift dressing with rolled cotton, an antimicrobial gauze dressing (Kerlix; Kendall Company, Mansfield, Mass), and self-adherent plastic wrap (Coban; 3M) is applied to support the brows in an elevated position and to put gentle pressure across the supraorbital rim (not across the middle of the forehead).
Eighty patients underwent endoscopic browplasty using BioGlue as the primary method of fixation between July 1, 2002, and December 1, 2004. The first 15 patients, whose preoperative and postoperative photographs were studied for long-term maintenance of brow position, ranged in age from 46 to 72 years; 80% were women (n = 12) and 20% were men (n = 3). Most patients had the endoscopic browplasty in conjunction with another cosmetic procedure, rhytidectomy being the most common. All of the 15 patients were included in the 1- to 2-month postoperative grouping, 13 in the 3- to 6-month grouping, and 10 in the 7- to 12-month grouping.
At the 1- to 2-month postoperative visit, mean brow elevation at the MP was 17.0% on the left and 18.3% on the right (P<.001 for both). The mean LC at the 1- to 2-month postoperative visit was 18.6% on the left (P<.001) and 14.3% on the right (P = .001) (Figure 1). The elevation in the brows compared with the preoperative status was maintained at the 3- to 6-month postoperative period. The MP at 3 to 6 months was 18.6% on the left (P = .01) and 25.2% on the right (P = .005), and the mean brow elevation at the LC was 21.2% on the left (P = .007) and 21.3% on the right (P = .003) (Figure 1). The elevated brow position was maintained across time; in the 7- to12-month group, the mean brow elevation at the MP was 17.3% on the left (P = .009) and 17.1% on the right (P = .02). The mean brow elevation at the LC at the 7- to 12-month postoperative visit was 21.3% on the left (P = .001) and 17.1% on the right (P = .03) (Figure 1). These findings corroborated the subjective improvement in brow position by the surgeons and the patients. Figure 2 and Figure 3 demonstrate the longevity of postoperative results.
Overall, the patients tolerated the procedure well with minimal discomfort. Patients returned to social functions within 7 to 10 days. In terms of complications, 6 of our first 80 patients developed small but palpable collections of BioGlue in the hair-bearing scalp. These "BioGlueomas" were small and were managed conservatively with reassurance. In most cases, the patients were comfortable with conservative management, allowing resorption with time (up to 18 months). Two of the 6 patients developed local unilateral sterile abscesses near the lateral scalp incisions. Both resolved with incision and drainage in the clinic under local anesthesia, local wound care, and a 7-day course of oral antibiotic agents. Finally, 1 patient (1%) required a revision browplasty to address asymmetrical postoperative brow position. This was performed without difficulty; the surgical planes were easily identified, elevated, and refixed with BioGlue. This patient had no further complications and was pleased with the final postoperative brow position. No patients required revision because of failure of fixation or loss of brow repositioning.
Fixation of the brows during the critical period of periosteal readherence is essential for the success of the endoscopic browplasty technique. A stable and secure fixation will allow a predictable result in brow rejuvenation and will ensure that there will not be loss of brow position in the early postoperative period. A variety of animal studies have been performed evaluating what the critical period of brow fixation is to allow adequate periosteal readherence. Although animal studies1-4 suggest that 1 to 12 weeks are required for periosteal reattachment, recent evidence2, 5 suggests that at least 6 weeks of fixation may be necessary to allow the periosteum adequate time to re-adhere to its new location on the frontal bone cortex.
With this knowledge, surgeons can properly evaluate which method of brow fixation best suits their practice and will provide adequate fixation during the critical period of periosteal readherence. Numerous options exist, many of which extend operative times because of complicated or labor-intensive techniques. Many popular methods require additional equipment, have protracted learning curves, and add substantial operative risk to the procedure. The bone tunnel and the Endotine techniques are 2 of the more popular methods of securing the periosteum−soft tissue complex. Both require drilling into the outer cortex of the skull. In the bone tunnel technique, a drill is used to create a passage through the bone to secure a fixation suture over a bridge of calvarium. This technique has an inherent potential to violate the underlying vessels, meninges, and brain parenchyma. One of us (D.M.S.) is aware of at least 1 case of epidural hematoma. Other complications, such as subdural hematoma, cerebral spinal fluid leak, and brain injury, are realistic possibilities that must be discussed with the patient.
When using the Endotine, a well is created in the outer cortex into which the peg on the backside of the absorbable cleat or Endotine is secured. This allows the Endotine to resist the downward pull of the periosteum−soft tissue complex. The outer surface of the Endotine is lined with spikes, which pierce the periosteum and soft tissue. Its adjustability makes it an attractive choice. Along with the risks of drilling the well, the Endotine can slip or displace, and it is frequently palpable through the scalp. This may, in part, be because the hardware is flat but it is juxtaposed onto a curved bony surface. In fact, patients in our experience complain of tenderness with palpation or during activities such as washing, combing, or styling their hair. Finally, although the cleat is absorbable, we found that it often persists for a protracted period, making its palpability a constant source of patient concern.
Transcutaneous screws have also been used to fixate the brows after endoscopic browplasty. These screws are placed high into the calvarium through the frontal scalp and are used as anchors to which sutures or skin clips can be secured. Although these screws are only temporary, being removed in approximately 2 weeks, they are indwelling hardware that is visible and palpable during this period. Furthermore, they are potential sources of infection for the surrounding soft tissue and the underlying bone. Patients are often reluctant to have these transcutaneous screws in place, even temporarily, for an elective procedure.
As an alternative to these more invasive and involved fixation techniques, investigations have explored the use of tissue adhesives that can be easily and rapidly inserted into the optical cavity to secure the periosteum until physiologic reattachment has occurred. Ellis and Shaikh22 and Marchac et al23 explored the use of fibrin glue as the primary means of brow fixation in endoscopic browplasty. Consisting of thrombin and fibrinogen, fibrin glue is unique in that it has hemostatic and adhesive properties. In rhytidectomies, for example, a reduction in postoperative hematomas and ecchymoses in the absence of drains has been reported with the application of fibrin glue.24 Marchac et al23 reported a series of 206 cases of endoscopic browlifts using fibrin glue fixation. They noted a satisfactory elevation in brow position in 94% of patients with a revision rate of 6% (10 of 163 patients). The experience of one of us (D.M.S.) with fibrin glue has not yielded similar satisfactory results, and the relapse rate was unacceptably high. The relapse rate is likely to be secondary to the low adhesive properties of fibrin glue given that it has a low bonding strength (up to 150 kPa) and can be significantly resorbed as early as 2 weeks.
BioGlue creates adhesion through polymerization between lysine molecules in its bovine serum albumin, glutaraldehyde, and any adjacent tissue proteins. It is another tissue sealant that can be easily used for fixation in endoscopic browlift without the use of indwelling hardware, such as absorbable cleats, screws, or plates. Although fibrin glue can be resorbed as early as 2 weeks, BioGlue is resorbed in 2 years, well beyond the critical 6 weeks needed to allow proper periosteal re-adherence. Moreover, it creates a bond strength of up to 1500 kPa, 10 times the potential of fibrin glue.21 Safety from disease transmission is ensured by purification in a proven 3-step process, including 2 heat precipitations and 1 chromatography.
In the present series of patients, the surgical brow position, while using BioGlue as the primary method of fixation, was maintained during the critical period of periosteal reattachment and remained elevated for 12 months compared with the preoperative state (Figure 1). Indeed, brow position continued to improve after the initial 1- to 2-month postoperative position at some measurement locations. This observation may be related to resolving nonclinical postoperative edema, possible continued wound contraction with wound maturation, or myotomy of the brow depressors. The percentage increase in brow position from baseline can be different between the 2 sides. Although a difference in percentage increase at the midpupillary position to the lowest hairs of the brow between the left and right sides may seem large at 6.6%, this actually translates into only a 2-mm difference in elevation between the 2 sides. Also, the disparity between the 2 sides could be due to an attempt to correct preoperative asymmetries inherent in most patients.
Patient satisfaction was high. Only 1 (1%) of our first 80 patients required revision owing to postoperative asymmetry in brow position. This is, of course, consistent with revision rates previously reported in the literature.23 Also, the revision case was one of the first 15 patients operated on using this technique. No serious adverse outcomes were noted. The 2 local abscesses seen in the study resolved with exploration and drainage without further sequelae. Their development may be related to the persistence of BioGlue in the surgical site.
BioGlue application is efficient and effective, significantly reducing procedure time (by as much as 30 minutes). In general, it takes 1 minute to apply the BioGlue and an additional 2 minutes to allow for complete polymerization and tissue fixation. The original reusable applicator has been refined to just 1 loaded disposable syringe and a few applicator tips, limiting additional equipment costs. One 2-mL syringe of BioGlue costs approximately $200, much less than some of the alternatives. BioGlue is also conveniently stored at room temperature, and no time-consuming or complicated preparation is required. Overall, the results with BioGlue brow fixation in endoscopic browplasty are encouraging, and a prospective evaluation of patients in the long term is warranted.
BioGlue is an effective and safe method of maintaining proper brow position in endoscopic browplasty. The present study shows that brow elevation achieved using BioGlue as the primary method of fixation was significantly maintained during the 7- to 12-month postoperative study period, beyond the critical period in which periosteum readheres to the bone. The application of BioGlue is fast and straightforward, thereby simplifying the overall procedure. No adverse events were seen, and complications were minimal and easily treated. Revision was required in only 1 of 80 procedures to date. BioGlue demonstrates tissue-bonding-strength orders of magnitude greater than any available tissue adhesive and has the potential to become a significant adjunct in facial plastic surgery. More thoughtful evaluation of this and other applications in our field is warranted.
