GlossaryBrow Ptosis

drooping of the eyebrow due to muscle weakness or aging

Brow Ptosis, also known as Brow Droop, is a condition where the eyebrow sags lower than its normal position, often due to aging, muscle weakness, or nerve damage. This can lead to a tired or sad appearance and may even impair vision if the drooping is severe enough to cover part of the eye.
