Hello. I just turned 23 years old. I know this seems a bit young for an eyebrow lift of any sort. Well My brows kind of droop downwards and it gives me a sad/tired expression. I am so sick of this. When my hair is put back in a ponytail it seems to solve the problem. I already have a far back/thin hair line. I only want the lateral brows lifted. I have tried pro waxers but even though they help a bit my lat.brows never look raised enough. I am very unhappy with this sad/tired expression.

Answer: Brow lift in a young patient
given the photo you provided it seems reasonable
hard to tell from the photo but you may have eyelid ptosis (drooping of the eyelids, not excess skin of the eyelids) this is a condition that is under -recognized by many surgeons. the impact of correcting it can be significant in terms of creating a more awake look.
one might also suggest that you would benefit from boney contouring of the lateral superior orbital rim
this is an advanced procedure not provided by many but can really have a huge impact of periorbital aesthetics
please do not take this as direct medical advice but simple general information to discuss with a qualified surgeon. i can be that surgeon if you care to contact me directly.

Answer: Brow lift on a young patient
I agree with Dr. Schiller. It is hard to be sure from the photos but it doesn't appear there is significant brow ptosis. But there may be eyelid ptosis. best bet would be to check with an oculofacial plastic surgeon.
