Abstract
A substantially flat implant for repositioning a patient's eyebrow that may allow for a gradient lift across the eyebrow. The implant may be geometrically non-symmetrical, and/or may have non-symmetric physical properties. The implant may include a foot portion that extends along a first longitudinal axis and has a length, and a vertical strip portion that extends outwardly from the foot portion along a second longitudinal axis. The strip portion has a length and a width that is smaller than the length of the foot. The second longitudinal axis is offset from the center of the length of the foot portion.
