CPT® Code 67900

The procedure described by CPT® Code 67900 involves the surgical repair of brow ptosis, which refers to the drooping or sagging of the eyelids due to laxity in the forehead muscles and descent of the soft tissues around the eyes. This condition can lead to functional visual impairment, particularly affecting the peripheral and superior visual fields. The surgical intervention aims to restore the position of the brow and improve both aesthetic appearance and visual function. The repair can be performed using various approaches, including a supraciliary incision located along the superior border of the eyebrow, a mid-forehead incision that follows preexisting horizontal furrows, or a coronal incision that is made along the hairline. Each approach is selected based on the specific needs of the patient and the extent of the brow ptosis. Prior to the procedure, the skin is meticulously marked while the patient is in an upright position, and local anesthesia is administered to ensure comfort during the surgery. The technique involves careful dissection and excision of excess skin and underlying tissues, followed by the closure of the incisions in layers to promote optimal healing and aesthetic outcomes.
