Where this comes from

Abstract

In spite of adequate preoperative evaluation, lagophthalmos may appear during a brow lift procedure if the patient has had a prior upper lid blepharoplasty. Relief of this condition may be obtained by incising the upper lid scar and spreading the wound. Subsequent granulation results in an acceptable scar.
