Should young person get a brow lift?

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.

hi if you think you look better with your brow in a higher position, then an endoscopic brow lift is an excellent surgeryminimal scaring and excellent subtle correctionat age 18 you are surely a candidateas you mature, you will continue to change and grow, so there's a possibility that you might have some change of your brow position something to think abouttalk to a board certified plastic surgeon so you will understand the technique and potential for change and the resolution if any is needed.good luck

The only option I would consider to lift your brow would be an endoscopic lift; please avoid the anterior hairline described option below as it will scar you for lift and would look awkward in a patient your age. Please note that your hairline will be pulled back by 1 to 1.5cm so you have to be ok with this.

There is no real age limit with browlifting surgery.  Heavy brows can occur at an early age and often runs in families.  The best treatment is an endoscopic browlift.  Best wishes.

Dear marie2338, In my practice on younger patients who have similar complaints I perform an endoscopic browlift which will place your brows to their proper position thus opening up your eyes more. Whether you would be a candidate at your age would be determined in a consultation with examination. i have enclosed a link below where you can view similar young patients and how natural the results are. When performed in the technique I use this does not overly elevate the hairline and most patients see minimal increase in the hairline as no skin is excised and the skin tissues and muscles are undermined shifting them all together to allow a natural appearance with no tell tale signs of surgery. Best regards, Michael V. Elam, M.D.

You are physically mature and therefor old enough for a brow lift to treat your inherited condition. I recommend the Irregular Trichophytjc Hairline Incision Technique that we described many years ago so you can avoid lifting your hairline further which would increase the size of your forehead. Not only will this surgery raise your hairline but it will also reduce the heavy hooded appearance of your upper eyelids.
