A: Age for Endoscopic Brow Lift

By Richard W. Fleming, MD - Beverly Hills Facial Plastic Surgeon

An endocopic brow lift is appropriate whether the "droopy eyebrows" are secondary to the aging process or an inherited unwanted physical characteristic. Be sure to investigate all methods of brow lifting before making your final decision.

A: Brow Lift Age restriction

By John Philip Connors III, MD - Atlanta Plastic Surgeon

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.

There is no reason why a simple problem of eyebrow ptosis or drooping... more

A: Endoscopic browlift is not age dependent

By Scott Trimas, MD - Jacksonville Facial Plastic Surgeon

Endoscopic browlift is not age dependent and in fact is the absolute best procedure in my opinion for improving congenitally low hanging eyebrows. I have recently done a nineteen year old male with thinning hair for congenitally or inheritedly low eyebrows. The procedure helped tremendously and looks much more... more
