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.

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.

Male Browlift
As opposed to the female brow, a man's brow is aesthetically acceptable at, or even slightly below, the orbital rim. The male brow may or may not be arched laterally, and most commonly it is relatively horizontal in orientation. In cases where the male brow has descended well below the orbital rim, and the upper lid tissues appear heavy and redundant, a browlift can be an effective means of rejuvenating the upper third of the face.

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...

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.
