BACKGROUND The eyebrow and eyelid are important sexually dimorphic and ethnic features of the face. In cosmetic surgery, maintenance of these landmarks is important to obtaining satisfactory results. OBJECTIVES The authors quantify the dimension and position of the eyebrow and eyelid in South Indians and Malaysian South Indians and assess whether significant differences exist between the sexe...

OBJECTIVE To determine if clinically used botulinum exotoxin A (Botox) injections to the forehead and glabellar and crow's-feet regions result in modifications of eyebrow position. DESIGN Prospective study. SETTING Academic medical center in St Louis, Mo. SUBJECTS Twenty-nine adult patients treated with botulinum exotoxin A injections for rhytids. INTERVENTION The eyebrow position at 13...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to identify the different factors that an oculoplastic surgeon should consider while practicing cosmetic or reconstructive eyebrow surgery in order to have the final patient's satisfaction. SUBJECTS AND METHODS In an observational case series study, five photographs were taken from each of 60 females to show ideal eyebrow positioning with fingers. Eyebrow...

Introduction: The eyebrow has a significant impact on the perceived beauty of the face, and in today’s culture women favour strong and healthy eyebrows. Although eyebrow transplantation and tattooing are two popular techniques for overcoming common concerns about weak and sparse hair growth, both techniques have disadvantages. Mesotherapy was developed in the 1950s, and was initially used to co...

Studies on the relationship between eyebrow movement and other aspects of speech production have focused on large, discrete movements of the eyebrows. Using integrated optical and electromagnetic point tracking, we measured eyebrow movements relative to the skull with a high level of precision. These data in combination with a correlational analysis method that accommodates varying phasing betw...

OBJECTIVES To improve (1) recognition of eyebrow ptosis, asymmetry, or deformity and (2) selection of the appropriate surgical technique based on the patient's underlying etiology. DESIGN Nonrandomized, retrospective study of patients undergoing surgical correction of eyebrow asymmetry. Forty consecutive patients were identified as having asymmetric eyebrow ptosis or deformity. Varying etiolo...

We investigated movement differences between deliberately posed and spontaneously occurring smiles and eyebrow raises during a videotaped interview that included a facial movement assessment. Using automated facial image analysis, we quantified lip corner and eyebrow movement during periods of visible smiles and eyebrow raises and compared facial movement within participants. As in an earlier s...

This paper deals with the relationships between rapid eyebrow movements and vocal production during dialogue. A sophisticated movement and voice recording and analysis system was used to determine when eyebrow movements occurred relative to the phases of phonation, and how these movements were linked to accentuation-related intonative variations. The results confirmed the previously observed as...

Potential visual prosodic cues for prominence and phrasing comprising eyebrow movements were manipulated using a system for audio-visual text-to-speech synthesis which has been implemented based on the KTH rule-based synthesis. Two functions of prosody (prominence and phrasing) were tested in two separate experiments. A test sentence, ambiguous in terms of an internal phrase boundary, was used ...
