I can tell you that I have performed endoscopic forehead surgery on women as young as 19 but this is unusual and there was a very specific reason that all concern felt was appropriate. Generally, I find that at age 20, women have trouble understanding how beautiful they actually are. I would encourage you to consider minimally invasive non... more
