Abstract:
We read with great interest the article titled "Anatomical Study and Clinical Observation of Retro-orbicularis Oculi Fat (ROOF)" by Xian Wang and Haiping Wang. Our aim with this comment is to contribute to a more precise nomenclature of any correction of lateral hooding of the brow. We believe both a ROOF lift and reverse browpexy or transblepharoplasty browpexy are not just two different techniques for the same purpose, they are also techniques based on two different concepts. As treatments should be cause-based, each of these procedures could be performed independently, or in combination, depending on the specific anatomical requirements for an optimal result.Level of Evidence V This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.

Cranial Bones: Lateral View
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...
Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View
The frontal bone is the single bone that forms the forehead. At its anterior midline, between the eyebrows, there is a slight depression called the glabella. The frontal bone also forms the supraorbital margin of the orbit. Near the middle of this margin is the supraorbital foramen, the opening that provides passage for a sensory nerve to the forehead. The frontal bone is thickened just above each supraorbital margin,...
