Question

I am of Afro-Caribbean origin and age 41. I am interested in a brow lift as I and others have noticed that my face has started to droop and my eyes always look tired.

However my skin does tend to develop keloid scars upon injury, is it wise for me to have a laparoscopic brow lift or do you recommend something else?

Answer

Although the forehead is not usually leading to keloid scarring, it is hard to the 100 % confident that it would never happen.

Alternatives include botulinum toxin to help lift the position of the eyebrows or upper eyelid blepharoplasty.
