Abstract

The periorbital and forehead regions are among the most expressive parts of the face. A thorough understanding of the complex facial anatomy and aesthetic norms are essential when evaluating and treating a patient for facial brow rejuvenation. Not only will knowledge of the anatomy enhance facial injection and surgical outcomes, but will also diminish potential complications. Combining nonsurgical and surgical techniques, including laser and skin rejuvenation, can yield the most natural and effective aesthetic brow improvements.
