Brow Ptosis

Eyebrows Dropping Lower than Normal

Brow Ptosis results from a weakening of the primary muscles that hold up the brow. This can be caused by aging, trauma or previous eye surgery. Correction of mild to moderate Brow Ptosis can be accomplished through an incision directly above the brows, in the forehead creases, or at the hairline. For more significant cases of Brow Ptosis, or to address deep frown lines or lateral hooding of the upper lids, it may be necessary to raise the brows and forehead through incisions hidden behind the hairline. The muscles that pull the brow down and crease the forehead skin are relaxed, which allow the brow to be raised into a more youthful position.
