  • Title: A method of direct eyebrow lift.
    Author: Lewis JR.
    Journal: Ann Plast Surg; 1983 Feb; 10(2):115-9. PubMed ID: 6340586.
    Abstract:
    A very simple procedure, requiring about twenty minutes, accomplishes moderate elevation and support of the eyebrows. It may be utilized for eyebrow ptosis alone, whether unilateral or bilateral; in conjunction with meloplasty and blepharoplasty; for equalizing asymmetrical eyebrows, and for further support of markedly ptotic upper lids. It has been used by the author in instances of partial and complete facial paralysis in conjunction with other procedures about the face to accomplish better symmetry. The duration of results with this procedure varies with tissue quality and healing, surgical technique, care given the area during healing by the patient, amount of frowning and vigorous facial muscle use by the patient, and aging. It is a useful adjunct, especially when used for moderate or subtle brow lifts.
