I'm in my early 30s and of some Mediterranean descent. My eyebows seem to sit rather low on my brow and also slope towards the center of my browline which seems to make me look tired or angry. Otherwise, my forehead is pretty smooth. I think I would just need the center of my brow lifted but I'm unsure what kind of Brow Lift procedure would work best for me, with little increase to my receding hairline and with long-lasting results. Thank you for your time.

Answer: Browlift It sounds like you are describing a mild descent of the medial brow close to the nose. The lateral brow position is going to be important in making this decision. The strength of the surrounding muscles will also provide important information. If you do not require a signficant elevation and the muscles are strong, I would suggest trying botox. Although this is a temporary solution it will give you insight into what can be accomplished. A good technique for minimal brow ptosis and a receding hairline is an endoscopic browlift. 3 to 5 small incisions are created within the hairline and the brow can be lifted. Since this is a minimal lift you would not dramatically alter the hairline. An anterior hariline incision in a progressively receding hairline and mediterranean skin may leave you with a visible scar in nonhair bearing skin in years to come. You need to have a discussion about this with your board certified plastic surgeon as there are tradeoffs to be made. I hope this was helpful.

Answer: There are a number of brow lift options for men First thing I would try on anyone considering a brow lift is Botox to relax the eyebrow depressor muscles. Many patients get a nice lift of the brow even without surgery that lasts around 4 months. As for surgery, if your hairline is receding and genetically will continue to do so, I am reluctant to perform a coronal, at the hairline or even traditional endoscopic browlift. Endoscopic is an option with incisions in upper brow creases. My favorite procedure for men such as yourself, is trans-Blepharoplasty brow lift. This is performed through an upper eyelid incision. the muscles are cut that pull the brows down and in. The brows are also tacked up to the bone above the eyebrow with a dissolving device called and endotine. The biggest drawback of the trans-Blepharoplasty brow lift is that the results aren't great. But for a man, that is an advantage. Men should not have their eyebrows lifted too high or they may appear feminized.
