Can a 19 year old get a eyebrow lift? (Photo)

Dear anayb,The
lift will reposition the brow and get rid of any sagging. Brow lift and
forehead lift also act to smooth horizontal forehead lines and the ‘vertical
11’s’ between the brows. At 19 years old, you probably do not have the signs of aging and thus you may not be the best candidate for a browlift, however, that should not prevent you from making an appointment with a board certified facial plastic surgeon and beginning a patient-surgeon relationship to understand your cosmetic goals and timeline.

Low Sagging or drooping of the eyebrows most commonly occurs as a result of aging, but not always. Low eyebrows can be inherited and happen even at the age of 19. Looking at your picture shows me your brow is low and heavy. You could have a browlift but be careful not to elongate your already tall forehead. This means you need and incision right at the last hairs of your hairline so that the scar is camouflaged by the transition from smooth forehead skin to hair bearing scalp. The line should also be irregular so the eye cannot see it as easily as a smooth straight line is seen. this technique can also be used to sharten a long forehead by advancing some of the hair bearing scalp down.

Eyebrows can sag due to aging but over the years I have seen many young people like yourself who have this problem as an inherited condition. An eyebrow/forehead lift can be done but avoid any technique that will elevate your already high hairline. I recommend the Irregular Trichophytic Hairline Incision Technique that we described many years ago which can be used to raise the brows an simultaneously lower your hairline.
