Patent ID: 8409296

Claim:
An implant for repositioning a patient's eyebrow, comprising: a foot portion adapted to be positioned along at least a portion of a length of a patient's eyebrow, the entire foot portion extending along a single, first longitudinal axis and having a length; a vertical strip portion extending outwardly from a first side of the foot portion to a distal end and adapted to extend upwardly across at least a portion of the patient's forehead, the entire vertical strip portion extending along a single, second central longitudinal axis and having a length, and a width extending between an outer lateral edge and an inner lateral edge, wherein the width is smaller than the length of the foot, wherein the second central longitudinal axis bisects the width of the vertical strip portion along an entirely of its length, wherein no portion of the foot portion extends outwardly beyond the outer lateral edge of the vertical strip portion, and wherein the foot portion is non-symmetric about the second central longitudinal axis, wherein the second longitudinal axis is offset from a center of the length of the foot portion and is at an obtuse angle relative to the first longitudinal axis such that a pulling force applied to the distal end of the vertical strip portion is entirely distributed along a length of the foot portion in a gradient manner that decreases along the length from the first side to the distal end, and wherein the implant is substantially flat having first and second opposing surfaces having no protrusions extending outwardly therefrom.
