Am I too young for an upper bleph / lateral lift?

This procedure is also known as a ponytail lift or temporal lift. It can lift the lateral brow, and cheek and give a pleasing sweep to the lower lids. This is done not to rejuvenate so much as to improve the eyelid and brow shape therefore it can be done at younger ages. It does also avoid any visible scars.

Thank you for this thoughtful and honest question — you're clearly very in tune with your facial anatomy and how your skin behaves, which is a strength when approaching aesthetic decisions.

Hello, and thank you for your inquiry. One important consideration is whether you have already tried using botulinum toxin to raise your eyebrows. This can be a good starting point, depending on your natural eyebrow shape and how much lift you may need. Often, if the brow is lifted even slightly, the upper eyelid skin will appear more taut.

If you’re looking for a more substantial and longer-lasting result, an endoscopic brow lift (often referred to as an endoscopic facelift when addressing the forehead and brow) may be a suitable alternative. The incisions are placed within the hair-bearing scalp, which tends not to develop hypertrophic scars, although the exact reason for this is not entirely clear. In a younger patient, an endoscopic approach typically creates enough lift in the tail of the brow to noticeably improve the appearance of the upper eyelids.

Endoscopic mid facelift&temporal lift can be done at any age but especially better if they are performed on younger patients. That's because these procedure are better for younger patients due to their surgical mechanics, designed for younger patients where there is less sagging. So there is no need to wait, you can have the procedure in my opinion. Good luck!

upper eyelid scars heal very well and should not form hypertrophic scars. A lateral lift would elevate the lateral third of your eyebrow and also help with upper eyelid rejuvenation.

At your age it probably is not necessary. I’m sure you could find a surgeon willing to do it but I would not do it

There is no pictures to evaluate. A hand scar is different than a face or scalp scar. Doing blepharoplasty or brow lift is based on the anatomy of the person not the age. However, whatever you do at any age will change as you age.

29 years old is very young for cosmetic surgery. If you are insisting on something being done then it is possible to do a mid facelift, which pulls the lateral brow and can lift the eyebrows and eyelids. The incision is hidden in the hair so it would be camouflaged.

You did not submit photos, so I cannot be specific. Pulling back with tape helps gives a little brow lifting, but does not really lift the eyelids.

You did not post any photos so impossible to respond to your inquiries. Best to either do virtual consultation repost with photos front side views at least. Expect these to range from $8000-$20,000.
