While the new creases are now stable, subtle improvement will continue for one year or longer. Note that normal fullness between the brow and crease has been restored.
Surgical repair consisted of
• excision of irregular skin scarring • release and excision of internal scarring • repositioning of fat from the upper orbit into the eyelids • fat buffering between old scars and levator complex, and • reconstruction of new creases
