The Cryolife company is now undergoing clinical trials to evaluate its product, BioGlue for use in brow lifts. BioGlue is a surgical adhesive made from bovine (cow) serum albumin (BSA) and glutaraldehyde. The two components are mixed as the product is delivered to the surgical site, and bonding takes place in 2 minutes.
Currently, most brow lifts are held in place with screws or plates that are drilled into the skull, staples, and/or stitches. Glue would be a less-invasive, more efficient method of fixation. It costs approximately $50 per mL. If you think you have droopy brows and you want to glue them back up, here is where you can apply for the study in NYC. Do not attempt this at home with rubber cement.
