The purpose of this study is to identify the effectiveness of internal browpexy for lifting eyebrows along with
upper blepharoplasty.
Patients and Methods
As a single-arm interventional study, that was carried out in Sulaymaniyah burn and reconstructive hospital.
Sixteen participants were subjected to morphometric evaluation of brow position after internal browpexy
during upper blepharoplasty.
Results
Patients were evaluated immediately after surgery as well as 6-8 months after surgery. The average change in
the condition of the eyebrows of the patients immediately after the surgery and a few months after the surgery
was descent 6 to 6.50 mm and 2.69 to 3 mm, respectively.
