  • Title: Eyebrow analysis after blepharoplasty in patients with brow ptosis.
    Author: Fagien S.
    Journal: Ophthalmic Plast Reconstr Surg; 1992; 8(3):210-4. PubMed ID: 1390430.
    Abstract:
    Fifteen patients and 28 eyes with measurable eyebrow ptosis underwent standard upper eyelid blepharoplasty with or without sub-brow fat excision. The patients were educated about the status of their eyebrow position and the effects of either direct or indirect methods of brow elevation. The patients either refused or chose not to undergo browpexy by any method. Eleven patients and 22 eyes showed an insignificant change in their eyebrow position after surgery. Two patients and three eyes had a mild to moderate descent of the eyebrow and two patients had what was felt to be significant worsening of their eyebrow ptosis in one or both eyes. However, all were pleased with their result. Information as such, after a careful review of the literature, has not previously been published.
