• To address the issue of excess lateral brow skin post-blepharoplasty.
• To enhance the appearance of the brow and eyelid sulcus.

Main Methods:

• A browpexy procedure is detailed.
• It involves suturing the superior cut edge of the orbicularis oculi muscle.
• Sutures are attached to the arcus marginalis using 2-4 absorbable 4-0 sutures.

Main Results:

• The described browpexy technique effectively supports the lateral brow.
• It leads to enhancement of the brow sulcus.
• This procedure offers a solution for residual lateral brow heaviness.

Conclusions:

• This browpexy technique provides a reliable method for managing excess lateral brow skin.
• It improves aesthetic results after upper lid blepharoplasty.
• The use of absorbable sutures ensures a safe and effective outcome.
