Brow Lift for 24 year old female: Too Early?

Descent of the brows, as one of the earliest changes associated with facial aging generally starts in the 20s. However, such changes are slow and subtle at this phase and thus most people in their 20s and even 30s are not really considered good candidates for surgical brow lift from an aging face standpoint in my opinion. The surgical lift will result in scarring of the tissue that can make future surgical attempts more challenging it also may result in un-natural or even paradoxically older appearing looks for young patients.Overall in such cases, if the anatomy is unusually favorable or the goals are really modest (for example, just trying to subtly lift the corners), chemical brow lift with neurotoxins such as Botox (being more subtle and short lasting), should probably be tried first.Of course, the cases of previous surgical scars, traumatic deformities and similar pre-existing conditions are exemptions to the general aesthetics mentioned above.

Hi Eve,
Without the benefit of seeing and examining your brow I cannot be certain, but I will still say the answer is probably, “yes, age 24 is too early to have a browlift.” While it is true that anatomy is more important than age in determining whether one will benefit from surgery, I would venture to guess that your anatomy would not justify the procedure. Although there are rare conditions that cause premature aging and there are genetic anatomic variations that result in a low position of the brow, I sense these are not present in your case. If you are truly bothered by the appearance of your forehead and desire a definitive opinion I would suggest a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon.
I suspect this is not the answer you wanted but I hope this will still be of some benefit to you. Good luck and best wishes if you decide to seek a formal consultation.

Need, not chronological age, determines when and if you should have cosmetic surgery. If at age 24 your eyebrows are already drooping, they are probably dramatically aging your face and will only worsen over time. There are several options for a brow lift:

One-centimeter-incision brow lift – A minimally invasive lift for early aging. This would probably be best in your case, though I would have to see you in person to verify.Endoscopic brow lift – The entire brow is lifted for a more dramatic rejuvenation. Your hairline may also be lifted slightly.Direct brow lift – This is usually done only in instances when the sagging brow limits vision.Coronal brow lift – Only used in cases of extreme sagging.Your first step is to find a board-certified facial plastic surgeon who can evaluate your brow droop and recommend the best corrective measure. I hope this helps.
