What is forehead paralysis?

Forehead paralysis is the inability of the muscles above the eyes and below the hairline to keep the eyebrows elevated. This sometimes extends to the eyelids, making it difficult to see and altering your appearance. The medical term for this is “brow ptosis.”

Forehead paralysis is caused by damage to the nerves of the face that control these muscles. There are many conditions that can lead to forehead paralysis. Lyme disease, Bell’s palsy, surgery for skin cancer, and trauma to the forehead or eyes are the most common causes.
