A 35-year-old woman with brow spasms, treated in the past with Botox, was referred for increasing tightness in the brow. She reported having experienced an episode of difficulty focusing after a previous injection of Botox by another physician. The patient had no response to a subcutaneous injection consisting of 10 units of Botox above the eyebrows, nor to a subsequent injection of 20 units in...

People tend to prefer noninvasive or minimally invasive methods of facial rejuvenation, especially when it involves their face, which is the hallmark of a person's identity and impossible to hide. It is widely known that brow ptosis gives the face a "tired look" and also accentuates deformities of the upper eyelid. Most people who are interested in facial rejuvenation may not accept even a mino...

BACKGROUND Descent of the lateral aspect of the brow is one of the earliest signs of aging. The purpose of this study was to describe an open surgical technique for lateral brow lifts, with the goal of achieving reliable, predictable, and long-lasting results. METHODS An incision was made behind and parallel to the temporal hairline, and then extended deeper through the temporoparietal fascia...

As their face ages, a significant number of individuals require elevation of the eyebrows to improve brow-ptosis and pseudo-ptosis of the upper eyelids. This may be for functional disability, i.e. when there is a reduction in visual fields, or for purely cosmetic reasons. Eyebrow elevation can be achieved by non-surgical or by direct surgical methods. There are advantages and disadvantages to t...

The speeded categorisation of gender from photographs of men's and women's faces under conditions of vertical brow and vertical head movement was explored in two sets of experiments. These studies were guided by the suggestion that a simple cue to gender in faces, the vertical distance between the eyelid and brow, could support such decisions. In men this distance is smaller than in women, and ...

In this paper, a method for fully automatic construction of frontal 2D face image of an individual is described. This frontal image is constructed from his/her available side-view images using face mosaicing. Firstly an automatic eye-brow detection algorithm is used to detect the eye-brow along with its position i.e. left or right. By this result it is easier to detect whether the given image i...

purpose: to evaluate the clinical findings and surgical management of patients with congenital unilateral double elevator palsy (dep) or monocular elevation deficiency (med) methods: in a non-comparative interventional case series, 27 consecutive cases of dep were studied. hypotropia, elevation deficiency, and pseudoptosis were corrected by knapp or callahan procedure with or without inferior r...
