BACKGROUND Brow ptosis is a potential complication after upper eyelid blepharoplasty. The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of upper blepharoplasty on eyebrow position. METHODS In this Between April 2011 and March 2013, eighty three patients (166 eyes with mean age of 49.7 years) underwent upper eyelid blepharoplasty. The patients were assessed using pre- and post-operatively digita...

OBJECTIVE To examine patients who have undergone midforehead brow-lift to assess the resulting brow position, symmetry, and final scar and overall appearance based on objective evaluations by masked plastic surgeons and laypersons. METHODS Twenty-one patients undergoing midforehead brow-lift in a single surgeon's practice were identified with at least 6 months' postoperative photographic docu...

OBJECTIVES To measure and compare surgical brow elevation with open and endoscopic techniques; to compare patients who did and did not undergo an eyelid procedure in the same setting as the brow-lift; and to determine whether a learning curve exists for a successful endoscopic brow-lift procedure. DESIGN A retrospective review of patients who underwent coronal, trichophytic, and endoscopic br...

To the Editor: VII nerve palsy is associated with a multitude of ocular and periocular disorders, including lagophthalmos, dry eye, paralytic ectropion of the lower eyelid, and brow ptosis. The latter may be esthetically disfiguring due to induced asymmetry between the affected and unaffected side and the ipsilateral loss of forehead wrinkles. In addition, brow ptosis may cause upper eyelid ful...

This article presents a review of the contribution of the periorbital musculature and brow depressors to the overall brow aesthetics. Special focus is given to the role of transblepharoplasty brow lift as well as myotomy of the corrugator and procerus muscles. The authors' preferred surgical technique and patient results are reviewed in detail.

BACKGROUND Due to the absence of accurate tools and appropriate photographic material there is a paucity of objective studies on facial aging in the modern literature. OBJECTIVES To measure changes in two elements of the face: brow ptosis and cheek mass migration, using an objective tool that we developed which we then used to evaluate facial aging in two subjects studying serial professional...

Traditionally, the asymmetrical brow in facial paralysis has been treated with open procedures. There are few data that support the use of endoscopic procedures to treat patients with facial palsy or paralysis. We sought to evaluate a single surgeon's experience with the use of endoscopic forehead-lifts to treat asymmetrical brow positioning resulting from facial nerve disorders. All cases invo...
