Glabellar frown lines: direct excision, an evaluation of the scars.
The direct excision of glabellar frown lines is a method that is not new, but neither has it been well evaluated. This paper describes the method, discusses the reason for the problem, and suggests why this method should have long-lasting results. Several examples of the scars are demonstrated. In selected patients, this may be a reasonable alternative to the myriad surgical possibilities in our quest for a solution to this problem.
