Trans-blepharoplasty for male with low set brows

A transblepharoplasty procedure is performed only for transecting the corrugator muscle of the forehead and will not give a brow lift. Very low eyebrows need to be raised with a formal brow lift not a transblepharoplasty.

Male brow lift

All of the answers are quite right. transbrow lifts are fairly limited and do not have a high success rate for most doctors. standard endoscopic lift leaves scars that may be visible after the hair recedes. you need to consider the risks and benefits. none are perfect

Low eyebrows in 23 year old male

It appears that you are asking about a transblepharoplasty browpexy procedure. In this procedure, an attempt is made to stabilize the brow through an incision in the upper eyelid. Despite what you might read about this, this procedure really does NOT raise the brows but rather stabilizes them in their current positions, preventing further brow descent. I am not so sure that it would be the right procedure for you.

Best Way to Raise a Male Eyebrow

In most cases, raising the brow from above is best. Since you have concerns about it, it may be reasonable to try an approach from below as long as you understand the limitations.

Low forehead brow position.

A low brow position is best treated by lifting from above. Yes, the hairline must be taken into consideration. With emminent hair line recession, scar placement and surgical technique are critical to the discussion. Hair transplants may be in your future?

Transblepharoplasty browlift.

Transblepharoplasty browlift is done for males with a receding hairline who are not going to have hair replacement flaps or grafts. Otherwise I do them at the hairline with the hair growing thru the scar.

The brow lift that you mention is not very effective long-term. Your best and safest bet is to try Botox

Brow lifts for males with receding hairlines

There is no perfect answer for this question. Coronal and temporal brow lifts will have a visible scar - although, most bald men actually make a very inconspicuous scars. Forehead lifts at the hairline are ok, if you wear your hair in bangs - but may show as a white line if you style your hair back, or to the side. They also often leave a portion of the scalp (behind the incision) numb. Endoscopic lifts leave small incisions that may be visible once the hairline... more

A Transblepharoplasty Approach with an Endotine Device Works Well

I perform many of these procedures on patients through an upper lid blepharoplasty incision. An Endotine device is secured into the bone just above the eyebrow. The periosteum over the entire forehead is raised through the same incision so that when the device dissolves in 4-6 months, the forehead sticks to the new position. I also treat my patients with Botox before surgery to decrease movement in the forehead during the healing process.
