It would be extremely unusual for a predominantly cosmetic procedure to be covered by medicaid. You would have to demonstrate significant medical need and also find a plastic surgeon who participates with medicaid.

Medicaid does not approve surgery for a brow ptosis.  And at age 18 it is hard to believe you would have enough brow ptosis to actually be affecting your vision.

I would be very surprised but to know for sure you should seek a consultation with a plastic surgeon in your area who accepts Medicaid. I hope this information is helpful for you.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon
