Abstract
A technique is described that aesthetically corrects brow ptosis and upper eyelid hooding in selected patients. This procedure is performed through a standard upper eyelid blepharoplasty incision and addresses the common findings of soft tissue fullness below the brow due to excessive suborbicularis fat and hypertrophied orbicularis oculi muscle.
