Aspect of brow position changes after bilateral ptosis correction surgery

Increased tonicity of the frontalis muscle lifts the brow to elevate the lid margin to compensate for the drooping eyelid in ptosis. Surgical intervention can alleviate the need to keep the brows elevated with the use of the frontalis muscle. Some studies have reported changes in brow position after ptosis surgery [1,2]. However, this is not a universal phenomenon and some patients experience the persistence of brow elevation even after ptosis surgery [1]. This study was aimed at evaluating the prevalence of brow elevation before and after ptosis surgery and analyzing the change in brow position in each patient.
