What is glabella muscle?
The “glabellar complex” often refers to a group of the brow-associated muscles (mostly depressors in action) that function primarily for facial expression. The muscles of the glabellar complex include the corrugator supercilii, procerus, depressor supercilii, and the medial part of the orbital orbicularis oculi.
Which bones are just inferior to the glabella?
A horizontal plate that forms the roof of the nasal cavity and closes the anterior part of the base of the cranium. The nasal bones lie directly inferior to the glabella. They from the bridge of the nose and the dome over the superior portion of the nasal cavity.
What causes glabellar?
Frown lines, or glabellar lines, are vertical lines that appear between the eyebrows. They are caused by small muscles between your eyebrows and in your forehead, an area called the glabella. Frowning and squinting contract those muscles, and over time this repeated action can cause permanent wrinkles.

Why is glabella important?
The skin of the glabella may be used to measure skin turgor in suspected cases of dehydration by gently pinching and lifting it. When released, the glabella of a dehydrated patient tends to remain extended (“tented”), rather than returning to its normal shape.
