Brow lift instead of Botox for 26 year old?

I am sorry you are unhappy with the look of your forehead.Unfortunately there really isn't a realistic surgery that can make these lines/wrinkles go away permanently from the forehead. The wrinkles typically come back as soon as you start expressing yourself. (raising or lowering your eyebrows) This is why Botox comes into play. You can non surgically treat this area and it will aid in preventing the lines and wrinkles from becoming more prevalent. 

Neuro modulators like Botox or Xeomen will smooth your forehead but will make it look larger. If your vertical non hair bearing forehead is too long then you need a forehead reduction. This would be done at the hair line. Done properly, it will shorten the forehead and muscle activity can be surgically reduced.

HelloA Brow Lift (also known as a Forehead Lift or an Upper Face Lift) is a surgical procedure designed to lift the brow and eliminate wrinkles on the forehead. People with droopy or sagging brows can have a sad, angry, or tired appearance; a brow lift can make that person look more happy and energetic.

....its difficult for us to determine that is what would be best for your from the pictures you have posted. You certainly have deep, prominent forehead wrinkles, but that could be addressed with botox alone, done in a conservative fashion so as not to drop your eyebrows. However, if you already have low eyebrow height at rest, then this could be the reason that your forehead wrinkles have become so prominent over the years. If you can post photos of your face/eyes from straight ahead without raising your eyebrows, it would give us another piece  of information regarding your anatomy to help us decide whether a brow lift would be a good idea. I've certainly done brow lift on younger individuals like yourself if the anatomy dictates it. I've put the link of a young woman that I performed a brow lift with these exact features.Best wishes,AJ Amadi

Brow position, forehead wrinkles and upper lid excess laxity are all connected. Without seeing your eyes, it is therefore impossible to give you the answer. If you are not making a maximum effort to lift your eyebrows in the pictures, then brow lift with a prehairline incision to shorten your forehead would be the best option. You would need to be seen to confirm this assessment. 

Whenever there are deep forehead lines one has to look for a reason in the eyelids or eyebrow position which can block the vision and result in compensation. Age is a factor but it is not prohibitive by itself as long there is valid reason for the operation. You may consider consulting an experienced plastic surgeon.

 The  forehead wrinkles that are present from the frontalis muscle on the forehead are best treated with Botox  at age 26. To make a determination about being a candidate for a brow lift requires photographs looking straight into the camera and having very low set eyebrows 

Hello from View Plastic Surgery in Korea.
It seems to me that you use your forehead muscle a lot. People who have this habit tends to get wrinkles quicker than other who don't.
It does not matter you are 26, if you use your forehead muscle more, then you are more likely to get wrinkles quicker. 
Botox will be a great temporary solution.

Many years ago I described the Irregular Trichophytic Hairline Incision technique for patients like who want to raise their low eyebrows and reduce their foreheads with one procedure. The results are immediate and the patients have total freedom of hair styling because they maintain normal uniform hair density.
