Very Low Eyebrows in Male, Would I Be a Candidate for a Trans-Blepharoplasty?

Question

I am a 23 year old male with a very low eyebrows. I inherited it from my father and I appear sad and mad all the time. I would like to ask about trans-Blepharoplasty procedure as I have a receding hairline. Is it suitable for men and what are the changes I will see ? Regards

Jed H. Horowitz, MD, FACS · Answer

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

Sam Naficy, MD, FACS · Answer

The brow lift that you mention is not very effective long-term.  Your best and safest bet is to try Botox

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 recedes.

	Transblepharoplasty browpexy, with or without endotine, can work - but it doesn't really raise the brow position by very much.  There is a higher rate of the brow falling back down compared to the other methods.  Most surgeons think of this operation as simply stabilizing the brow and preventing it from falling further from the pulling effect of an upper blepharoplasty.

	Hope that helps to understand the options.

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.

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.
