Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
A patient who has undergone bilateral direct brow ptosis repair who has agreed to participate in the study will first return for the post-operative day 10 visit where sutures are removed from the brow incisions. The patient returns on post-operative week three for their first injections, the details of which are below:
Starting on post-operative week three, the patient will receive 0.05mL aliquots of each injection (0.9%NS and 5-FU) sub-dermally into the brow incision spread out evenly over the brow, totaling 0.3-0.6 mL of each injection over each respective brow. Photos of the patient's brows will be taken, and then both the physician and patient will fill out a survey recording their impressions, the contents of which are listed in subsequent sections of this protocol. This same procedure will be repeated every three weeks for a total of up to four rounds of injections, thus the final round of injections will be given on post-operative week twelve. At each of these post-operative visits, incidence of any side effects is recorded, and if an unacceptably high rate of side effects occurs, the study will be precociously terminated.
At post-operative week fifteen, the blind is broken, and again photos are taken and physician and patient impressions are recorded via survey. After the blind is broken, if desired, the patient can opt to undergo a similar series of injections on the placebo arm of 5-FU.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
5-Fluorouracil Active Treatment Arm
A patient who has undergone bilateral direct brow ptosis repair and has elected to participate in the study will first have each of their brows randomized to either be the active treatment arm or the placebo arm. The active treatment arm brow will be injected with 0.05ml of 5-Fluorouracil 50mg/ml in several injections evenly spaced over the brow incision for a total of 0.3-0.6ml, repeated every three weeks for a total of 4 series of injections.
5-Fluorouracil
50mg/ml concentration of 5-Fluorouracil to be injected intra-dermally in direct brow skin incisions
Placebo Arm
A patient who has undergone bilateral direct brow ptosis repair and has elected to participate in the study will first have each of their brows randomized to either be the active treatment arm or the placebo arm. The placebo arm brow will be injected with 0.05ml of 0.9% Normal Saline in several injections evenly spaced over the brow incision for a total of 0.3-0.6ml, repeated every three weeks for a total of 4 series of injections.
Normal Saline Flush, 0.9% Injectable Solution
