Can Children Receive a Brow Lift? - Cosmetic Surgery Guide


Cosmetic Surgery Enquiry

While most brow lifts are performed on people old enough to suffer the effects of age on their brows and forehead, younger people who aren't happy with their brow line and foreheads often also opt for the treatment. Although strictly speaking there is no age limit for the brow lift procedure, there are only a few circumstances in which the procedure may be performed on children.

When would a brow lift be performed on a child?

Brow lifts are generally performed for cosmetic purposes, and as such are not really thought of as procedures performed on children. There are however certain cases where such a procedure would be necessary for a child. These will almost exclusively because of an inherited or congenital defect which affects the child's lifestyle. For example, an extremely low brow can hamper vision and affect a child's quality life, and in such a case a brow lift surgery could be the best option.

Is it safe for a child to have a brow lift?

There are always risks associated with any surgery, which is why brow lift surgeries are not considered for children unless absolutely necessary. Some risks include the chance of infection, a poor reaction to anaesthetics, and scarring. Performed by an expert surgeon with experience in delivering quality procedures the surgery is successful and there isn't anything to worry about.
