title: The position of the eyebrow.
abstract: The position of the eyebrow, which varies from person to person, is an important factor determining the final result of blepharoplasty, ptosis, and other aesthetic surgery. We developed a new instrument for measuring the position of the eyebrow--a clear, curved, plastic face mask with inscribed distance gradations in millimeters and a sliding horizontal step to catch the superior orbital rim for measurement.
