[The removal of folds and wrinkles in the glabella area].
Analysis of late results of operations performed in 160 patients to remove excessive skin and wrinkles on the forehead showed that good results were attained in only 40% cases. This was because surgical interventions to remove skin excess on the forehead and to repair the eyebrows in ptosis did not include resection of the muscles which created folds in the glabella. Resection of the muscles moving the eyebrows together helped appreciably improve the remote results of surgery.
