Abstract
Advances in surgical techniques and instrumentation have led to an inc reased popularity of brow-lifting procedures. However, because of pati ent variability and differing surgeon opinions, eyebrow aesthetics and thus surgical goals remain to be clearly defined. We performed an in- depth evaluation of current eyebrow aesthetics using two study groups. Popular fashion models were evaluated and compared with our own patie nt population. Important differences in eyebrow position and shape bet ween these groups are delineated and the surgical implications defined . Criteria that contribute to the aesthetics of the eyebrow are review ed, and guidelines to optimize surgical results and avoid potential co mplications are discussed.
