Brow Lift Age restriction

John Philip Connors III, MD answers: Is 20 years old too young for endoscopic brow lift?

I am 20 years old and have inherited droopy eyebrows. I think an endoscopic procedure could improve my appearance. Am I too young to undergo this type of procedure?

Nina-

You have received some fantastic thread responses from my colleagues above! They are right, there is not a definitive age restriction or contraindication I am aware of for a brow lift. A brow lift corrects brow ptosis or sagging by repositioning the brow above the orbit or bony rim. It also, at least in my hands, inactivates the muscles between the brows that contribute to the dreaded "11's" or glabellar lines that many patients have treated with Botox or Dysport. It is a great operation in the right patient. Speak with your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon to get all the information you need to make an educated decision!

Good Luck!

Dr. C
