Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to provide data to assess Dysport™ injections as a treatment therapy for brow ptosis. This study will assess the outcome of brow lifting with use of Dysport.
Detailed Description:
One of the most common reasons that patients present to both dermatologists and plastic surgeons is for brow and lid ptosis. Although some patients that present for these entities require surgery, most will decline to have surgical intervention. Alternative treatments include brow lifting with botulinum toxins.
Brow lifting with botulinum toxins may be performed by injecting the muscles responsible for brow and lid depression. These muscles include: the corrugators, procerus, medical aspect of the frontalis and the depressor component of the orbicularis oculi muscles. By relaxing these muscles, the brow elevators may be able to lift the brow and help both brow and lid ptosis. This trial is unique as it utilizes Dysport to treat an entire anatomic muscle group (the brow depressors) rather than injecting isolated muscles.\_
