Determinative factors in surgical planning of eyebrow cosmetic and reconstructive surgery

Figures & data

Figure 1 Measuring amount of BFS in mid pupil (a), lateral limbus (b), and lateral canthus (c).

Abbreviation: BFS, brow fat span.

Figure 2 Calculation of the brow angle (a) and brow height (b).

Figure 3 Desired eyebrow position is depicted by one of the subject’s own finger in the mirror.

Table 1 The amount of TPS and BFS

Variable	TPS – medial canthus	TPS – mid pupil	TPS – lateral canthus	BFS – mid pupil	BFS – lateral limbus	BFS – lateral canthus
Mean ± SD	3.48±1.01	3.71±1.64	3.66±1.14	9.40±3.12	11.83±3.24	20.31±4.32

Abbreviations: TPS, tarsal plate show; BFS, brow fat span; SD, standard deviation.
