I am 20 years old and have inherited droopy eyebrows. I think an endoscopic procedure could improve my appearance. Am I too young to undergo this type of procedure?

Answer: Appropriate Age for Browlift
In general, no if you are female, and this procedure can correct the genetic appearance you describe. For men, because of the risk of progressive hair loss, I generally recommend waiting at least till around 28 to 30 years old.

Answer: Brow Lift Age restriction 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. A brow lift corrects brow ptosis or sagging by repositioning the brow above the orbit or bony rim. It also, at least in my hands, inactivates the muscles between the brows that contribute to the dreaded "11's" or glabellar lines that many patients have treated with Botox or Dysport. It is a great operation in the right patient. Speak with your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon to get all the information you need to make an educated decision! Good Luck! Dr. C
