Abstract

BACKGROUND: The widespread popularity of browlifts and blepharoplasties speaks directly to the importance that patients place on the periorbital region of the face. In literature, most esthetic outcomes are based on instinctive analysis of the esthetic surgeon, rather than on patient assessments, public opinions, or other objective means. We employed an artificial intelligence system to objectively measure the impact of brow lifts and associated rejuvenation procedures on the appearance of emotion while the patient is in repose.
