Should young person get a brow lift?

Question

I'm 18 and have very low eyebrows when I relax my brow muscles, giving me a very unnattractive and angry look. Because of this I constantly have my eyebrows slightly raised to make my eyes look normal. This causes me to have 2 horizontal wrinkles on my forehead which are very noticible in certain lighting. I've noticed this problem since I was 13 and would like to get rid of it. I'm only 18 but what procedure would you recommend I get to fix this? Thank you.

A brow lift or endoscopic forehead lift might be good options to
consider to help raise your eyebrows. Both procedures are great for opening up
the eye region and are done by making incisions to the hairline which can be
easily hidden. Although you are relatively young, people from all ages undergo
brow or forehead lifts. Since this seems to have been a concern of your for
years now, I suggest consulting with a board-certified facial plastic surgeon
with a good track record of successful brow and forehead lift procedures to
find out which approach will work best for you. I hope this helps.

Hello and thank you for your question. A formal evaluation would be needed to determine the best treatment. There are both surgical and non-surgical options to correct this, depending on your exact situation.

For less significant issues, there are nonsurgical treatments: To give the eyebrows a nice lift, we use injectable fillers to improve the eyebrow, upper eye, forehead and temple. A filler is placed on the bone and in the fat pads of these areas to contour and lift without it looking overdone. We use cannulas to limit pain and swelling.

Surgery (browlift and/or upper blepharoplasty) is a great option for more significant improvement- for example if there is more substantial eyebrow drooping. I suggest getting a consultation with an experienced cosmetic dermatologist and facial sculpting expert, or an aesthetic facial plastic surgeon like Dr. Donald Groves; we are both located right here in Los Angeles.

Best, 
Dr. Emer

Thank you for your question. I suggest that you move forward and consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon because each patient has a unique set of aesthetic needs and desires. There are non-surgical options available to you, including fillers.
Best wishes,

Brow lift in the young female? Yes a browlilft is what you need to avoid making forehead creases. If you have an endoscopic forehead lift it will raise your hairline. That is why we invented the Irregular Trichophytjc Forehead lift which will not raise your hairline. See a very experienced brow lift surgeon who does both and have him show u the hairline scar witch should not be seen since hair grows thru it.

Endoscopic forehead lift is the recommended procedure to elevate the brows with minimal scars. Looking at the before and after photos, you will see the results that can be achieved with this procedure.
