Direct Brow Lift Combined with Suspension of the Orbicularis Oculi Muscle
A 41-year-old male presented with prominent frontalis tone. He also experienced frequent frontal headaches. He had ptotic eyebrows, possibly combined with congenitally low-set eyebrows and hanging of the upper eyelids. The eyelid levator function was good. He underwent the brow lift operation (a width of 13 mm was excised at the apex), followed by upper blepharoplasty two weeks later. The frontalis showed a remarkable decrease in tone. His preoperative frontal headache symptoms also disappeared. He still had some hanging of the upper eyelids but declined further surgery. In , the focal depressed scar at the medial area of the right eyebrow was caused by partial wound dehiscence at 3 days after stitch removal due to an unknown cause ().
