title: The brow-eyelid continuum: an anatomic perspective.
abstract: Surgical rejuvenation of the upper eyelids cannot be performed without taking into consideration the complex aesthetic and anatomic relationships that exist in the upper third of the face. This article discusses the concept of evaluating this facial area as a unit, the brow-eyelid continuum. In addition, the ideal aesthetic goal, the clinical and surgical anatomy, and aging changes relevant to this region are discussed.
