Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare Dermabond with non-absorbable sutures in skin closure after brow ptosis surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are: * if Dermabond provides equivalent wound healing compared to conventional non-absorbable skin suture techniques * if Dermabond provides equivalent scar appearance compared to conventional non-absorbable suture techniques * if Dermabond results in equivalent complication rates compared to conventional non-absorbable suture techniques Participants will have be randomly selected to have either Dermabond or non-absorbable suture closure methods. Scar analysis and both participant and provider surveys will be performed to assess the differences between groups, if any.
