The most common reason for this surgery is the obstruction of the superior visual field due to the redundant tissue that overlaps or hoods the eye. Brow ptosis refers to the laxity of muscles and sagging tissue of the eyebrows and forehead. The muscle laxity may alter the position of the eyebrow. Blepharoplasty is the surgical procedure to remove excess upper eyelid skin. Repair of the sagging tissue of the eyebrows and forehead is brow ptosis repair. Repair of drooping lids in the presence of an untreated brow may result in incomplete resolution of the visual impairment. Also, failure to excise redundant upper eyelid tissue at the same time of brow ptosis (browplasty) may accentuate the tissue overhanging the eyelid margin.
