The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.
If we're going to do an upper eyelid surgery because you're constantly lifting your forehead muscle to be able to see better, your brain's compensating for this this pathology. Um, if we do an upper bluffroplasty, whether it's insurance or cosmetic or whatever, all of a sudden that visual field will improve and your frontalus muscle will automatically relax and your brow will come down and it'll create a new problem that you didn't know you had.
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
So does that mean I'm just stuck with eyes? So then then in the conversation with a patient what we would come to probably in your case is okay we can do a blroplasty which is an upper lid surgery but we're going to undertreat you do less than what you think you need. It's not going to make a huge shift but on the other hand we also don't want to change the entire relationship neurologically that your your frontalis muscle has with your eyelid.
And so these are some of the conversations we have to have with patients that maybe we leave you alone unless you're also ready to have your forehead lifted or at least have what we call a medical brow lift with Botox.
